Episode 10: The 5 C's Of Effective Parent Communication

Plug & Play PD

6 Ways to Build Effective Relationships With Difficult Parents (Includes the 5 C's)

I have created a free “Plug & Play PD” for you. This is a 45 minute webinar complete with guided notes. You can use it at a staff meeting or to just coach up a teacher that needs to grow in the area of teacher communication.  Thanks! 

This Plug & Play PD is for you to use with your staff for free. I would love to hear from you if you use it with your team. Please email me at [email protected] and let me know if it was helpful. Thanks!

The 5 C's:

#1 is Competence, (Your teachers can demonstrate competence by doing a great job, keeping parents informed, giving plenty of notice and being organized)

#2 is Confidence (Your teachers can earn the confidence of your parents by acting like a professional, being self-assured, friendly and assertive and by maintaining professional distance)

#3 is Care (Your parents will know that their child’s teacher cares for them when they notice the little things, show respect and have a predictable mood)

#4 is Consistency (Parents need regular feedback. If the teacher does not proactively create a narrative about themselves, the parents will create the narrative)

#5 is Collaboration (Teachers need to acknowledge the parent’s expertise on their knowledge of their own child and ask questions about that knowledge)

Call to Action:

Use the Plug & Play PD with your teachers. It is a 45 minute webinar with everything that I taught back in episode 2 AND the 5 C’s that you learned about in today's episode. You can use the free webinar at a faculty meeting or maybe just with an individual teacher that you are trying to coach up in the area of parent communication. It comes with a pdf of guided notes and discussion questions. All of that is free for you because I want to help you help your teachers have better relationships with your parents.
