My spouse's school is looking at overhauling the communications channels between parents & teachers after frustrations on both sides of the aisle a few years in a row now. They keep hearing great things about this service called
PTCC (Parent-Teacher conference call) started by a local company in our city, Montreal. Obviously, improving phone & email communications will only solve part of the problem - but how big of a part ? We are wondering how other teachers on here feel...
What does your school do RIGHT when it comes to establishing a dialogue between educator & parent ?
What does it do WRONG?
How significant an effect does your school's communications system (PBX, email) have on the parent-teacher rapport?
Experienced teachers, your words of wisdom would be appreciated !
