Student success begins with seamless communication between their home and school environment. Parent-teacher teamwork is the ultimate power tool that ensures students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Recognizing this, CBSE has announced the formation of a 10-member committee for the 2025-26 Parenting Calendar.
This initiative is all set to strengthen collaboration between parents and schools by offering a structured framework for communication and engagement across all CBSE-affiliated schools in India. The goal of this program is to help teachers and parents have timely conversations to address issues like behavior changes, exam stress, and support for children with special needs.
In this newsletter, we unpack CBSE’s latest Parenting Calendar and explore practical ways as to how teachers can implement it into their school routines.
This framework will spotlight mental health by raising awareness among schools and parents, and offering regular training for teachers to tackle related challenges. They will be equipped with the skills to offer timely support and interventions through well-structured engagement strategies.
Here are three key features of CBSE’s Parenting Calendar every teacher should be aware of:
|
Train Teachers to Track Student Performance CBSE’s new program offers a structured approach to monitor and address the diverse needs of students. By aligning regular check-ins with parents, teachers can gain valuable insights into each student’s academic journey and personal challenges. With Extramarks Smart Class Plus, teachers can effortlessly monitor student progress, while parents gain clear insights into learning milestones. AI-powered tracking and customized reports help identify gaps, making personalized intervention easier for improved student performance. |
|
Organize Regular Parent-Teacher Meetings Regular parent-teacher meetings provide a platform for open dialogue, where teachers can share insights on academic progress, behavioral patterns, and emotional well-being. Parents, in turn, can offer feedback and share concerns, allowing for a unified approach to supporting the student. By staying aligned, teachers and parents can guide students toward greater success and emotional growth. The Extramarks Parent App strengthens parent-teacher communication by offering real-time updates on academic progress, assignments, and assessments. With features like instant messaging and performance tracking, parents stay informed and engaged in their child's learning journey, allowing for more meaningful and timely conversations with teachers. |
|
Encourage Feedback Loops to Boost Engagement Teachers can encourage feedback by regularly reaching out to both parents and students to discuss progress, challenges, and learning preferences. This helps educators adapt their teaching styles and address specific needs. This open exchange ensures that students feel heard and supported, enhancing their academic experience. |
Through a series of virtual and in-person meetings, the committee is expected to finalize the Parenting Calendar by March 15, 2025, for implementation in the upcoming academic year.
