One of the most important elements in an IEP run smoothly is a strong and established teacher parent relationship. These relationships are the heart of the educational experience for all students, not just Special Ed. Teachers and parents both want to ensure their students are being provided the best education possible and establishing trusting and positive teacher parent relationships is crucial to doing so.

All children do better when school and home are working together to support them and there are so many reasons to focus on building relationships with parents. In this episode, we are looking at why it is so important to have strong teacher parent relationships.
