The methods I will use to communicate to my students and their parents will be both traditional and modern. I will have a weekly newsletter for all my students to take home with an updated calendar for the month ahead, as well as information on what we have and will be doing in class the next week. The newsletter will also feature a section where outstanding students and parents will be thanked and congratulated.
Also, I will have a classroom website with an updated calendar for parents to check and see what is going on in my classroom. The website will have contact information as well as a "syllabus" so parents will know what is going on in the classroom and what their child should be bringing home. The website will be designed for the use of parents but students will also be able to check it as well if need be.
Linked to that website I will have my personal classroom blog. This is where parents and students can read up on their progress. Students exemplifying an outstanding work ethic, behaviour, or overall performance will be praised on the blog. Also, parents that are helping out and are involved in the classroom will be thanked. The blog will also show interesting things that have happened in class. More importantly, my personal classroom blog will not have anything negative posted on it at all. The blog will have quick, easy to read, posts that will be designed to communicate as well as further engage students and parents.
