These "testimonies", as well as the frustrations around parent communication are really important. I just opened my email and found 2 messages from parents who wanted to let me know how much they appreciated the efforts to keep them informed about what was going on. I'm finding that if we can build a sense of connection with our parents, and build a sense of connection between our parents and what is happening in our classroom, then things run so much more smoothly.
I'm wondering whether those of you who have experienced positive communication building within your parent community are noticing improvements in student attitudes and achievement.
