As an educator, communicating effectively with students’ families can feel challenging. You know it’s important, but figuring out what to say and how to say it clearly and meaningfully isn’t always easy. Patricia Weinzapfel’s book, Closing the Loop: A Powerful and Practical Guide to School-Home Communication, offers educators practical solutions and easy-to-follow strategies designed to break down barriers and enhance interactions with families.

Closing the Loop is clear, concise, and very easy to read. It provides proven ideas supported by authentic examples drawn from real experiences. Most importantly, it contains an abundance of helpful tips, tools, and techniques that you can put into practice immediately to improve and strengthen your communication with parents and caregivers.
