  Why Is Effective Communication In Schools Important?

 While most of the work done by schools is focused educating their pupils, many head teachers realize the importance of maintaining and constantly improving communication with parents. A lot of research and study has been undertaken in recent years that prove the benefits of involving parents more deeply in the educational process.

For some moms and dads, this might be as simple as understanding better the journey their child is going through. That can include things like grades and successes, as well as subject areas where an individual might be struggling. For other parents, effective communication can make them feel more involved in the school and lead to them willing to play a bigger part.

It’s all about creating interest and that can’t be done without a communication process that allows parents to feel part of the school community. This means developing an open and inclusive policy for reaching out to parents that helps build a stronger link between the bricks and mortar of the school, its teachers and the home.

It’s been 25 years since Discovery School has invited parents to come and participate in all special events or classroom activities. We have lots of fun!

Essentially, communication strategies create a much stronger bond between parents, pupils and teachers to form a strong community that works together to produce the best in education.
