In 2012, a Harvard studyrevealed how communication between teachers and families can impact children’s engagement. When communication was frequent, the researchers noticed ‘large and immediate effects’ on homework completion rates, classroom behaviour and participation in lessons.
Great relationships are built on connections, and as teachers, building these connections is a critical part of what we do with the children in our classes. If we want these relationships to be as strong and beneficial as possible, we need to build connections with families too. Making a positive call home is an easy win for building relationships ...
Once you build good connections with families, lines are open for future conversations. This will make delivering both positive and not so positive information to parents a lot easier, and you will hopefully find them more responsive to creating shared solutions, should this be necessary.
A call home singing a child’s praises can be a self-esteem boost, especially for those quiet, diligent children, who would rather go unnoticed in a public setting. Some children find even positive attention in front of a crowd overwhelming so making a call means that their efforts are still recognised but in a more private context. And, knowing tha...
For parents who often receive necessary but not always positive messages about their children, a call home to highlight something amazing about their child can help to build relationships between children and parents that may be strained. This provides a self-esteem boost for both parent and child.
Teachers have shared on social media the power that making a positive call home has on them as well as the children and families in question. For many, doing this is a high point in their week and something they look forward to.
Time moves quickly in classrooms – as soon as you spot something you’d like to highlight in a call home, note this down so you don’t forget. If you’re looking to target a particular child or group of children, build up a list of notes to keep handy when you call.
Unless time is earmarked for making calls home, this is likely to fall by the wayside, so it is a good idea to pencil time in. Fridays are a good slot for a call as it sets children and parents up for a great weekend. Other times may include a 10 minute slot during PPA time or five minutes at the end of the day.
Positive calls home do not need to become a ‘tick box’ exercise in which you work through the class list. However, it is a good idea to keep track of who you have called, when, and what was celebrated. If you are looking to target certain children, note these down (especially shy and quiet children who fly under the radar) and actively look for thi...
Not a requirement, but if you think it’ll help, write out a quick script you can have in front of you if you need it. Mentioning that the call is positive quickly will allay any anxiety parents feel when they see the school number calling. Here is an example you could use:

Aug 24, 2017 · If you call six homes and talk for 10 to 15 minutes, the time can add up. But making a phone call or two at the end of the day—or during lunch, or on the weekend—is well worth it. Harvard education researchers Matthew Kraft and Shaun Dougherty discovered numerous benefits of teachers phoning students’ homes: “Frequent teacher-family ...

Why Teachers Call Home. When most teachers call home, it’s primarily to discuss issues with student behavior, not academic struggles. It may be unavoidable to call home about academic struggles. However, I’m fortunate to work in a building that has a built-in intervention and enrichment period, so I can work with students during that time ...
