Synthesis
Creating a parent letter was a great way for the parents to get to know me right from the start. This is something that I would like to incorporate in my future teaching practices. I think it helps get teacher support from the beginning. For example, updating parents that a consent form would be coming home was very effective. As soon as I sent the forms home, I quickly received them and I received the majority of them the next day.
When becoming a teacher in my own classroom, I may alter this to a brief meet the teacher sheet. This is something that I have also created, but it was for my thirty hour clinical experiences. This will include a little blurb about myself, my education, my hobbies, and my favorite things. Overall, communicating with parents at the beginning and throughout the school year is very important for creating relationships and for the students.
