In this paper, we are taking an in-depth look at communicating with families of students in primary schools and there is a current research as the basis. Focusing on the partnership between teachers and parents, this research analyses different elements: communicating with families about the student's success, communicating with families in meetings, and addressing difficult topics with families. Additionally, a broad-based analysis is made regarding working with families of general education students, students with disabilities, students from low socioeconomic status, and students with unique gifts and talents. Sometimes teachers working with families may become frustrated by the parents' apparent inability to dedicate their attention fully on matters regarding their children. At that point, there is a tendency of determination of teachers' perceptions of both the benefits of creating productive partnerships with parents, on one side and the barriers that must be overcome, on the other side.
A key element in contemporary qualifications frameworks is the specification of learning outcomes. The learning outcomes usually are described by the use of active verbs expressing knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis, evaluation, etc. All this verbs describe a sphere of cognitive intelligence. But, rationality is only a part of the broad human potentials and powers. From there, affective components of learning can provide a valuable tool that helps teachers to enhance their competencies with emotional and ethical capacity. Those who have authority over others, such as the teachers, should be wary against the misuse of the power of their positions. For this reason, when we talk about the teachers’ competency standards, we must take into account the feelings, reflections, interactions and ethical attitudes in education. This paper focuses on the important emotional and ethical aspects of the relationships that teachers have with their students.
