10 Ways Parents Can Partner with Teachers

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO – May 7-11, 2018 is Teacher Appreciation Week and one-on-one braintraining company LearningRx (www.LearningRx.com) is sharing 10 ways thatparents can partner with teachers. Here are some highlights from the piece:

  • Donate supplies.Time magazine reports that teachers spent, on average, $500 of their own moneyon classroom supplies. If you have contacts at stores or large companies,ask if they can donate supplies. (Some schools will even supply you withtheir tax ID number in order for the company to get a write-off.) Youcan also check yard sales and thrift shops to pick up cheap deals, orask the teacher to create a list of classroom “needs” and“wants” that you can offer to copy and share with other parents.
  • Keep your kids’ learning skills strong. Cognitive skills are the core skills our brains use to think, read, learn,remember, reason and pay attention. When even one of these skills is weak,learning can be a real struggle and even the best teacher can’tmake new information “stick.” Enrolling your child in one-on-onebrain training to target weak brain skills can create lasting improvementsin your child’s ability to learn anything, which makes your teacher’sjob easier and more rewarding.
  • Show your appreciation. A tiny box of chocolates, a tall mochaccino, a $5 Starbucks gift cardfor the drive home —it’s the little things (accompanied bya note of appreciation) that show you care and value your teachers. Althoughteachers will say that gifts aren’t necessary, even a nice note(from the child or parent) can make their day.
