Home-school Contact The Effective Design And Implementation

Education is a systematic framework, composed of schools, families and society respectively. In order to foster the development both in students' mental and physical well-being, families and schools must enhance each other's mutual collaboration and support. So far, a booklet called "home-school in touch" can be found in many students' backpacks, which is worth congratulation. The booklets reflect schools'open-minded attitude by taking the initiative to gain family education's support and coordination, thus revealing the potential further cooperation between teachers and parents. Nevertheless, some unsatisfying drawbacks can be easily traced:being inflexible in record contents, negative effects on students' physiological well-being, unilateral contact between families and schools, the neglect of students-orientation etc. Therefore, how to uplift the contact between schools and families to a new level by discarding the dross and selecting the essentials as well as improving the contents is the main focus of the following essay. The essay is verified with the practical applications to students, teachers and parents by the widespread surveys among them, which, I hope, would make the booklets "home-school in touch" students- oriented, thus endowing the booklets with manifold functions, such as connections, assessment, supervision management, self-evaluations etc.The essay analyzes the current booklets "home-school in touch" available to expose its inadequacy in the form of documental analysis and investigation.
