children education

teachers in a child’s life.

responsibility for children’s learning lies solely with

learning process of their children together with
school and teachers.

Parent engagement means knowing what they are learning at
school, finding strategies to improve learning, help teachers
get to know and understand your child better.

help them with homework. Parents must be committed to
actively participate in the education of their children and
provide tools to the teacher so that they can meet the proposed
goals.

the tasks.
Parents should support and
encourage their children to do their
homework, learn from them and

big difference in their lives in the
future.

idea that the teacher, parents and children will form a
large family in the school year in search of a common
welfare.

and support children’s learning activities at home.

decision-making and how to communicate with other parents.

example: collaborate in the organization of extracurricular activities
such as excursions, theaters, special days, musicals etc.

day where parents are the spectators of a class to learn how your child
behaves and what the teacher does in the classroom.
