Teacher Websites
It's easier than ever to have a teacher website. So many options availble now. Ready made templates, design on your own or use the district created style that Southwest Schools has designed for you. Whichever option you choose, make it your own.
Teacher websites create one of the most important relationships you'll find that you need in your classroom: Parent Engagement. Sometimes children won't tell parents everything they need to know or maybe you forgot to send home a notice. If you post it online for all to see, parents easily have a go-to place to catch up with what's going online. Don't think a website makes a disfference in your relationship with your parents? Try it for a month and watch your communication and willingness from parents to help soar!
