As a beginning teacher, I knew that it was important to connect with parents and to build a positive relationship with them, but at times I wasn’t sure how to do this. Within the first week of school, I’d call all my students’ parents or guardians, introduce myself, and share a little about what they could expect for their kids in my class that year.
In retrospect, I wish I’d asked more questions about their child and then listened more to what they had to say. After 20 years of experience and after sending my own child off to school, here are some questions I’d ask parents with the intention of building a partnership to support their child’s learning.

While ideally teachers would be able to meet with every parent and have this kind of a conversation in person, I recognize that our schools are not aligned to this priority and we just don’t have the time. I believe it’s possible for teachers of self-contained classrooms to make phone calls to some 20 to 35 families—and I know it’s worth the effort. For middle and high school teachers, I wonder if these questions could be asked by phone over a period of time, or through email or paper surveys, or in some kind of innovative Back to School Night where parents shared their thoughts and feelings rather than teachers talking to parents.

I hope that she’ll see me as a partner, and I’m excited to meet her next month.
