Start Early and Introduce Yourself

Don’t wait for parent-teacher conferences or issues to arise before reaching out. Introduce yourself to your child’s teacher at the beginning of the school year, either through email, during open house, or by scheduling a brief meeting. Express your interest in working together to support your child’s learning and development.

Communicate Regularly and Proactively

Open communication is key. Stay informed about classroom activities, expectations, and upcoming events by checking school websites, newsletters, or communication apps. Share any relevant information about your child, such as learning styles, personal challenges, or upcoming family events that might impact their behavior or performance.

Be an Active Participant in School Activities

Lastly, show your commitment to your child’s education by actively participating in school activities and events. Volunteer your time, attend school functions, and stay informed about school policies and initiatives. This demonstrates your support for the school community and helps you build stronger connections with your child’s teacher and other parents.

Build Open Communication

Perhaps the most important foundation of working with your child’s teachers is to establish a relationship built upon open communication. One of the most simple ways of going about this is to make sure you attend parent-teacher meetings whenever possible. This will demonstrate to your child and their teacher that you are committed to being engaged in this dynamic, as well as offering you an opportunity to raise any questions you might have with their teacher. You can also use these opportunities to share insights about your child that might help your teacher to understand them better. If you have concerns or questions in the meantime, don’t hesitate to contact their teacher!

Attend Events at School

Another way to become more engaged with your child’s development at school is to attend events at school. This might be extracurricular activities such as band nights, or it could be a volunteering project. This is a great way to show your child and their teacher that you are on board with their learning and trying to help them get the best experience out of their school time.

Set Realistic Expectations

Try to understand that every child is unique and has a different journey during their school time. They may have a more or less academic inclination but the important thing here is to work with your child and their teacher to set realistic learning expectations and outcomes so that your child can appreciate their own development without feeling like their educational experience is a constant struggle.

The “mute challenge” originated during Beyoncé’s performance of the track “Energy” during the Renaissance World Tour. After singing the lyrics “Look around, everybody on mute,” the Grammy Award-winning singer and her dancers all “freeze” and encourage the audience to do the same. The goal is to make the venue as quiet as possible.

After witnessing the challenge at Beyoncé’s concert, Drummond decided to try it with her classroom. She first explained to her students the meaning of the word “mute” and then told them when and how to act like it.

In the video posted on her social media, Drummond can be seen trying out the challenge and being genuinely surprised with the response. The entire classroom, which she refers to as “D-Hive”, went silent.

The video got a lot of attention on social media and earned praise from other internet users. It also prompted other teachers to try out the challenge with their students, and they have all nailed it. Maybe it works with a noisy household as well, it doesn’t hurt to try.
