1. How do you build a relationship with the learners? Parents?

For the learners, establishing trust should start the moment your students enter the classroom. Lead a
conversation with your class about how trust is important in all relationships as well as in learning. Have
them share examples of how teachers and students can earn and demonstrate trust in the classroom.
This will set the tone for healthy classroom relationships throughout the year.

For the parents, throughout the long school year, there will be times when the parent and the teacher
are not always on the same page, but that does not mean they cannot work together. Having a good
relationship with parents is essential to ensuring students are receiving the best education. The
beginning of the school year is a great time to start the relationship on the right foot. As a teacher, it is
important to make that initial contact to start the relationship. During that initial conversation, it is best
practice for the teacher to ask questions about the student. This shows parents the teacher values their
opinion and wants expert advice on how best to educate their child(ren).And also there is nothing more
contagious and welcoming than a smile. If you truly want to create a great relationship and partnership
with your students’ parents just simply smile when you see them. That smile from the teacher to the
parent can be all that’s needed to have a great relationship.

2. What is your approach to building a relationship with them?


 Be communicative – Ensuring that communication systems are accessible for all to use
and are consistent, is vital.
 Be inviting - Invite parents in as much as possible to ‘Come and see’. Let parents see for
themselves what learning in their child’s classroom looks like and let them understand
the classroom systems and expectations.
 Be trusting - Ultimately, as teachers, we need to remember that as parents, they know
their child best; what their strengths and interests are and so we need to listen, really
listen. Often they will have potential ideas that might aid their learning or emotional
needs. We need to listen to them — they know the whole child.
3. How do you establish discipline for your learners?
 CREATE CONSISTENCY
Students of all ages will react positively to a consistent approach to discipline.
It’s essential that your pupils know what is expected of them. Make it clear from
the start what your expectations are for behaviour in your class. Ensuring that
your pupils know the rules and why they are in place should be enough to stem
most casual behaviour issues. If students are aware of the consequences of their
actions they are less likely to misbehave in the first place.
 MAKE SURE PUNISHMENTS AND REWARDS ARE CLEAR
Involving students in the creation of rules or code of conduct for the classroom,
such as by designing a poster or reward system for a display is a way to build
your expectations into the class culture. Display the class code of conduct
prominently in your classroom. Make sure that there are rewards for good
behaviour as well as punishments for negative behaviours
 KEEP THINGS EXCITING
Great classroom discipline goes hand in hand with lessons that capture your
learner’s interests. Get to know your students and their interests so that you
can tailor lessons to be as engaging as possible for them
4. How do you address minor misbehaviors? Major misbehaviors? Chronic misbehaviors?
 Minor misbehaviors
Give the misbehaving student a chance to respond positively by explaining not
only what he or she is doing wrong, but also what he or she can do to correct it.
Never resort to blame or ridicule. Avoid win-lose conflicts. Emphasize problem-
solving instead of punishment.
 Major misbehaviors
 Stop the misbehavior and reestablish positive behavior as quickly as
possible
 Maintain children’s dignity
 Develop children’s self-control and self-regulation skills
 Help children recognize and fix any harm caused by their mistakes
 Demonstrate that rules help make the classroom a safe place where all
can learn
 Chronic misbehaviors
Step 1: Ascertain whether ignoring is an appropriate response.
Step 2: Discuss the proposed plan with the student.
Step 3: When the misbehavior occurs, continue what you are doing, and
provide positive feedback to other students.
Step 4: When the attention-seeking misbehavior ceases, give the student
attention.
Step 5: Maintain frequent interactions with the student when they are not
misbehaving.
Step 6: Monitor the student’s behavior to determine whether progress is being
made
5. How do you deal with parent's complain?
 Genuinely acknowledge a parent’s concern. Parents fear that their concerns will not be
acknowledged, let alone handled fairly. I always allow parents the opportunity to vent,
to express their protest first. I try never to be in a hurry to speak; I have learned to listen
carefully. Some complaints are obvious and direct. Others actually mask underlying
circumstances or conditions I am not even aware of. I also try to put myself in the
parents’ shoes and approach the problem from their perspective. And I always try to
confirm – and even affirm – their perception of the problem before offering my own
explanation of the situation.
6. How do you consolidate with the parents for their child’s problem?
 Even if you don’t agree with what the parent is saying, your first step is always to listen.
Let them have their say. Empathy can often resolve a problem. For instance, I once had
a student who was struggling with spelling and her mother felt like I wasn’t doing
enough to help her. I listened as her mom talked about what she felt was missing in the
classroom and what she wanted her daughter to be able to achieve. Before offering a
solution, I told her I understood her concern and I could see her face relax. Instead of
escalating into a conflict, the remainder of the meeting was focused on what we could
do together to address the issue. Lead with a simple acknowledgment that you
understand the parental concern. More often than not, this will take care of the conflict
itself, and if it doesn’t, it will clearly state the problem that the parent perceives. Then
you can unite to find a solution. When given the chance to voice their concerns, parents
will often have suggestions for how to fix the problem, and they can be an incredible
resource.
7. How do you maintain a friendly and caring relationship with the learners? Parents?
 I’m a firm believer that the more open and honest my relationship with a parent is, the
better we can serve their child. So when a parent makes me angry, I remind myself that
they’re doing their absolute best in the moment, and I try to decipher what it is they
really need or want—just like I do with my students. As with all relationships, there can
be bumps in the road of parent-teacher conflict management. It’s crucial to know how
to fix those potholes and move forward, while always keeping in mind what’s most
important: the students.
