Do you agree that a teacher is an active member of the society? Teachers are
arguably the most important members of our society. They give children purpose,
set them up for success as citizens of our world, and inspire in them a drive to do
well and succeed in life. The children of today are the leaders of tomorrow, and
teachers are that critical point that makes a child ready for their future. In this
regard, teachers must have the right knowledge about the skills they need to
develop to play their roles.

• Family-school-community partnerships are a shared responsibility and


reciprocal process whereby schools and other community agencies and
organizations engage families in meaningful and culturally appropriate ways,
and families take initiative to actively support their children’s development
and learning.

• Partnerships are essential for helping students achieve at their maximum


potential and while parent and community involvement has always been a
cornerstone of public schools, greater recognition and support of these
collaborative efforts is needed.

A. What is school and community relations or partnership? • A school-
community partnership involves "the connections between schools and
community individuals, organizations, and businesses that are forged to
promote students' social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development"
(Saunders, 2001).

B. Why do we need community partnership in schools?


• Schools are being held accountable for students learning and what they know.
However, schools cannot do this alone. This is where school and community
partnerships come into play. In these different partnerships students are
given the best opportunities to succeed in school because the
community can sometimes provide resources that schools cannot
really afford to provide.

C. What is the importance of school and community relations? • The school


and the community are the mainsprings of effective and powerful forces that
can create wholesome climate for mutual gains and betterment. • They can
forge a kind of partnership where both are willing to share information as well
as responsibilities to the best interest of the children while in school, likewise
when dealing with members of the community.

D. What are the roles of the teachers, parents and the community?
• The parents are the first teachers in the home.
• The parents are responsible for the development of values, attitudes and
habits that will be needed as their children associate with classmates in the
school.
• The members of the community, in addition to the parents and relatives like
the government officials, the professionals and all the residents are highly
motivated to participate in the parent-teacher activities and projects.

E. What are the six types of involvement in the community? 1. Type 1


(Parenting Activities): Parenting activities increase families’ understanding
of their children’s growth and development. These activities may assist
parents with information on children’s health, safety, nutrition, other topics of
child and adolescent development, and home conditions that support
students’ education at each grade level. Type 1 activities also increase
schools’ understanding of families with strategies that promote exchanges of
information between educators, parents, and other caregivers about their
concerns and goals for children.

2. Type 2 (Communicating Activities): These include school-to-home and
home-to school communications about school and classroom programs and
children’s progress. Two-way communications by teachers and families
increase understanding and cooperation between school and home.
Thoughtful two-way communications also show students that their teachers
and parents are working together to help students succeed in school.

3. Type 3 (Volunteering Activities): They enable families to share their time


and talents to support the school, teachers, and students. Volunteers may
conduct activities at school, in classrooms, at home, or in the community.
Family volunteers may assist individual teachers or help in the library, the
family room, the computer room, the playground, the lunchroom, after
school programs, or other locations. Families also give their time to attend
student performances, sports activities, assemblies, celebrations, and other
events.

4. Type 4 (Learning at Home Activities). They provide information and ideas


to families about the academic work that their children do in class, how to
help their children with homework, and other curriculum-related activities
and decisions. Type 4 activities increase teacher-parent communications
and parent-child discussions at home through reviewing student work,
practicing skills to pass a course, monitoring and discussing homework,
choosing courses, and conducting other academic and curricular activities.

5. Type 5 (Decision Making Activities). They enable families to participate in


decisions about school programs that affect their own and other children.
Family representatives on School Councils, school improvement teams, and
various committees and in PTA or other parent organizations ensure that
parents’ voices are heard on important school decisions.

6. Type 6 (Collaborating with the Community Activities). They encourage


the cooperation of schools, families, and community groups, organizations,
agencies, and individuals. The connections can be mutually beneficial: a.
Community resources may help schools, families, and students. b.
Educators, parents, and students may help their communities.

School-community partnerships enhance educational outcomes by providing resources that schools alone may not afford, offering comprehensive support for students' social, emotional, physical, and intellectual development.

Challenges in forging school-community partnerships include lack of communication, differing priorities, and limited resources.
