5. Family-School 5.1. Make regular contact with the parents with a positive message. (Use phone or instead write in a special contact-book for these 5 children) 5.2. Ask parents in chats or meetings about how they feel their child is coping and thriving. 5.3. Use a questionnaire sent out to the parents in advance concerning motivation/self-esteem/academic adjustment/expectations/social adjustment to raise expectations about their own child. 5.4. Draw up a "learning contract" between pupil-teacher-parents, focusing on responsibility and improvement. 5.5. See to it that the parents of the golden 5 attend parents' meetings by giving them extra attention (special message-phone call-message through child a.s.a.p) 5.6. Show interest in the child’s family and activities by asking questions to the child and showing interest. 5.7. Go through the "home curriculum" with the parents of the class as a whole or with the parents of the golden 5. 5.8. Open-day with pupils and parents, so that the parents will see the pupils' work, desk and classroom. 5.9. Organize family groups in the class (groups of parents taking a group of pupils out on activities once a month in the evening/afternoon). 5.10. Make a parents' activity bank in the class, where parents put in their contributions (help-assistance-driving-baking-inviting class to work/farm-tell class about special interests/travels). 5.11. Organize chats with teacher, child and parents together, with a positive focus. |
