As the teacher I have several roles to play. I must not only support students, but student’s parents and other professionals. As part of my educational philosophy, I believe we (students, teachers, and parents) are part of an educational community that should support one another and work as a team. This duty requires me to work along side parents and other educators in forming the best educational plans for student success. In addition, as an educator, it is my job to communicate to the parents how important their role is in their child’s education and encourage them to be a part of their child’s educational experience. Like the role of the teacher, the parents’ help and impact are crucial in the success of student learning. Without their help the child will lack much in social, community, and character skills. It is my belief that all involved in the life of a child should work together as a team for the greater good and success of the child.
