For Teachers

In the Classroom and at Home

Teachers interact with parents all the time. Whether it’s to talk about how their child is doing in school, address an academic or a behavioral problem, or try to get them more involved in the school community, you interact with parents on a regular basis. MVParents is here to support you both in your classroom and your interactions with parents. Use the information on the site to promote asset building in your classroom and your school, or refer parents to the site if you think that information here would benefit them. You can even print out our downloadable handouts, tip sheets, and discussion guides to give to parents. No matter how you use MVParents, you can be sure that you’re getting research-based, expert-approved information.
