Three of the six attitudes of teachers conducive to forming partnerships with families include mutual respect, openness to communication, and cultural sensitivity. Of these, I believe cultural sensitivity is the most important because understanding and valuing diverse family backgrounds fosters a more inclusive environment, allowing teachers to connect with families on a deeper level. This connection helps students feel respected and understood, positively impacting their learning. The six Epstein methods of working with families are parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision-making, and collaborating with the community. I find collaborating with the community to be the most unique, as it extends beyond the school and brings in resources and experiences from the wider community. This approach helps students see the value of their education in real-world contexts and strengthens the school’s relationship with the families and local organizations.respond to ALMA 1000 WORDS
