5 points - Better teacher collaboration and better school outcomes:

- Collaboration means collective efforts to achieve shared belief and common outcome. Collaborative efforts are essential, particularly when the focus is on progress and development. Below are the 5 points why collaboration is key at school: 1. The collaboration between the teachers is key for academic development and progress at school. Working together can lead to the exchange of valuable teaching methods and intellectual insights, but these advantages are often overlooked amid busy schedules. 2. Teachers have usually a very packed schedule. Teachers often face challenges when it comes to collaboration due to packed schedules filled with specific duties and fixed periods, making it difficult to find the time for deeper planning and individual student assessments. 3. The education of teachers in teaching techniques and methodologies and child development is very very important. Poor educational backgrounds, particularly among non-B.Ed. teachers in private ...

Involve parents, carers and families for school success:

Work with parents/carers and families can add strength and depth, and has been shown to have a significant impact in making approaches and specific interventions more effective, both by helping family life reinforce the messages of the school and through helping parents and carers develop their own parenting skills and attitudes. The school has an important part to play in supporting the kind of parenting and family life that boosts well-being. This can be done informally, through conversation with individual parents and carers, or more formally through presentations at parents’ evenings, printed information, parenting education courses, and designated family link workers. Parents and carers who may not have had a positive experience of parenting themselves may need particular help to respond to their children’s behaviour in emotionally literate ways, to spend quality time with their children, to focus on their children’s strengths, to listen, empathise and understand the causes ...
