In this episode, Jen, Francis, and returning guest Sophia explore the often-overlooked power of teacher-parent communication. From the nerves of a first parents’ evening to the joy of a handwritten postcard home, they reflect on how positive partnerships with carers and families can transform the classroom experience.
Expect thoughtful insights, practical tips, and a few laughs as they share what they’ve learned on the journey from trainee to trusted adult.
💬 Topics include:
– Making parents’ evenings work for everyone
– Why communication is part of inclusive practice
– Creating a culture of trust through praise and presence
This one’s for anyone building their teacher identity and looking to connect more meaningfully with the people behind the pupils.
