Summary
Two veteran teachers partner to give grammar school through upper school teachers the principles and practices for effective partnership with parents that goes beyond communicating only at report card time. Sue, the third-grade teacher, and Diana, the high school teacher, will show how shared principles look different depending upon the stage of the child, explaining what’s appropriate, and what isn’t.
