Abstract
This
project
was
undertaken
to
devise
a
two-way
system
of
communications
for
parents
and
teachers
,
specifically
for
use
In the
kindergarten
year.
Current
practices
tend
to
consist
of
contact
initiated
by the
school
, and
less
frequently
include
a
partnership
approach
to
education
by the
home
and
school.
In
keeping
with
modern
philosophies
, this
study
assumes
the
young
child
will be
offered
a
more
beneficial
education
if
parents
and
teacher
develop
co-operative
attitudes.
--
The
research
for this
project
was
carried
out
in
Newfoundland
, in
schools
of the
Avalon
Consolidated
School
Board.
Initial
contacts
were
made
through
interviews
with
principals
of
elementary
schools
and
parents
of the
1982-83
kindergarten
children
, and
through
questionnaires
mailed
to
kindergarten
teachers.
The
information
so
gathered
provided
an
outline
of
current
practices
in
parent-teacher
communications
and the
degree
of
satisfaction
with these
practices.
Based
on this
research
, and on a
survey
of the
literature
, a
model
for
communications
including
a
progress
reporting
instrument
, was
devised
and
redistributed
to
principals
,
teachers
and
parents
for their
evaluation.
--
The
two
major
needs
were
identified
by this
project:
(1)
educator's
need
a
standardized
guideline
for
communications
with
parents
to
ensure
consistent
and
efficient
communications
, and
(2)
increased
parental
awareness
of
school
programs
is
desired
by
both
parents
and
teachers.
--
There were
two
major
conclusions
to this
study.
First
,
parents
and
teachers
indicated
willingness
to
make
additional
contacts
and
desired
a
partnership
type
of
relation
for the
benefit
of the
child.
Secondly
, the
model
that was
developed
was
judged
by
principals
,
teachers-and
parents
to be
feasible
and
adaptable
for
practical
use
in
schools.
