25 Sep Establishing a collaborative unit with teachers

Establishing a collaborative unit with teachers, families, and students builds a strong bond to support the growth of the students. Building a rapport and sharing information with families is a critical step in creating relationships that support the learning environment and the connection between home and school.

The letter should address the following:

The family’s role in developing a self-regulated learner in the home environment.

Emphasize the importance of regularly communicating goals and learning progress between school and home.

Recommend two technological resources and one non-technological resource that you and the families can use throughout the school year to communicate students’ progress.

APA format is not required, but solid academic writing is expected.
