Introduction:
Creating a Parent Workshop and Brochure
Teachers in the early years should have very close working relationships with the parents of their children. The partnership in education between parents and teachers has a long history, with each partner recognizing the unique part he or she plays in the child’s life. The value of sharing the information they have about the child highlights their separate but important functions. Overall, when schools, families, and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and like school more.
