What does a healthy, successful school look like?
What’s the most accurate predictor of academic achievement? It’s not socioeconomic status, nor how prestigious the school is that a child attends. One of the best predictors of student success is the extent to which parents and teachers engage. The measure of a healthy school depends on the quality of relationships–chiefly the relationships among students, teachers, and parents.
Teachers who connect with parents about their children’s education often see a profound change in their classrooms. Engaged parents tend to think highly of teachers, which improves teacher and student morale. Knowing more about a student’s family life helps teachers prepare and deliver lessons that better fit students’ needs.
That’s why Whistler Waldorf holds three class parent evenings each year, and events such as “Mom and Dad Nights”. Not only do these evenings focus on student life; they focus on connection and learning more about each other as we explore the principles of learning that live within our school.
I look forward to learning and laughing together at tonight’s Mom’s Night!
– Rubeena Sandhu, Director of Education
We acknowledge with respect that our school is located in the traditional territories of the Sḵwxwú7mesh & Lil’wat Nations where we live, learn and play.
