Every year, at the beginning of the school year, I send this form home. I ask my parents to fill it out in ther interest of learning what they want from their child's teacher. What can make this a great year for their child? I always get a handful back, read them, and try to be conscious of living up to reasonable requests throughout the school year.
A student returned her form to me today, it had been living in her bookbag for the past two days. I read it, and found that I really enjoyed reading this parent's insights on what she wants, from me, for her daughter.
One teacher who cares about G.'s educational needs and making sure all resources are applied.
The person must like love there (sic) job, and want all students to succeed. and must be willing to make sure every student under their instruction gets the best education offered.
This teacher must know that all students learn at a different pace and should be patient, understanding,, and determined.
She/He must love helping children grow and hate failure and excuses.
Her/His favorite comments to parents should be, "Your child is doing great!"
She/He would love saying, "It's a pleasure having your child and teaching to the students.
Must also be good job.
In return the teacher will receive all positive feedback and support.
While I may not agree with everything this parent wrote, I appreciate the gist of her message. The great part is, I want what she wants for her child. As a matter of fact, I believe most teachers want what parents want for their child.
I would settle for constructive feedback, and I will gladly take all the support a parent can give! Working together, I know I can give my parents what they want, a great year!
