How to Motivate Students Only Interested in Sport to Improve their School Performances

Teachers of All Subjects

8. Agree with parents to supervise their child’s school path
Agree with the parents on the ways to communicate between school and home. Make sure that the student is also aware of these means and participates in the communication in a way that is clear for all.
Arrange frequent meetings and encounters. For day-to-day communication, use a contact book in which all parties can write notes and send wishes that might help the student’s study process. Try to inform the parents regularly but not too often (if not needed) about the student’s progress and try to be sensitive for hearing what happens after school days: in other words, is everything balanced in a student life and is everyone (student, parents, coaches and teachers) aware of it?
Agree together with the parents on the amount of responsibility that is given to the student and how to support him / her in his / her studies and sports activities
Learning Objective
The learning objective of step 8 is to give ideas of how to promote the cooperation and discussion between schools and families.
