The aim of the course is to enable prospective teachers and kindergarten teachers to engage in co-operative contact with parents. Parent work involves co-operation, communication and trust between parents and teachers. This involves an educational partnership that must be actively managed and is by no means one-sided.
The course focuses on theoretical reflections, instructions and practical experiences that report on working in partnership with parents and demonstrate that parents and teachers have an equal focus on education and upbringing. Appreciation and respect for pupils and parents/guardians are of fundamental importance when establishing contact. In addition to establishing general contact, the core of parental work is also the organisation of individual and collective contacts. Parent work implies the task of educators to involve parents in shaping the school community in everyday school and child life.
