Relationship building
Core Component
Supportive relationships between parents/carers and teachers, and children and teachers, are fundamental to school readiness.
Flexible activities include:
- Building teacher-parent relationships
- Nurturing teacher-child relationships
- Enhancing parent-child relationships
Activities to support building relationships include teacher-initiated phone calls to parents, class newsletters sent to parents, joint student-parent homework, parent meetings, and increased teacher responsiveness to students. Teachers play a role in enhancing the parent-child relationship by providing at-home activities for parent and child to complete together.
