The importance of school-home partnership and how
parents can connect with the school and MOE
As a parent, you are the key navigator of your child’s
growth. Your child will benefit the most when we put your child at the heart of
what we do, and when we understand our shared responsibilities for your child
and work together to bring out the best in your child. Having a close partnership with us will help
you to better understand your child’s learning experience in school, so that
you could provide him or her the necessary family care, support and
reinforcement at home.
You can support your child in various ways. We
encourage you to join the school’s Parent Support Group so that you can get
involved with the school’s activities and get to know other parents and your
child’s friends in school. You can sign up for activities that suit your
schedule and you do not necessarily have to devote long hours in the school’s
Parent Support Group to be fully engaged in your child’s education. Effective
parenting cannot occur in isolation from the school, and we would like to partner
you to develop your child to be the best that he or she can be.
More information on how you can be involved in your
child’s education can be found at http://parents-in-education.moe.gov.sg/parents-in-education/how-can-parents-be-involved.
Remind parents on how they can be involved in their
child’s education
Here are some tips
that you could consider to support your child’s learning :
·
Praise
your child’s good efforts, and not only his/her successes.
·
Don’t
dwell on mistakes and academic marks. Rather, always encourage your child to
strive for improvement.
·
Give
your child the confidence to seek help from his/her teacher.
