Teacher’s Toolkit: Communicate Effectively With Parents and Family Members Through a STEM Newsletter

by: Kylie S. Hoyle, Lauren A. Harper, Kristie S. Gutierrez, and Margaret R. Blanchard

This column provides how-to strategies and practical advice for the science teacher. This issue discusses newsletters, which are an eye-catching way to keep family members updated on student activities, guest speakers, STEM content, career connections, vocabulary, related links, and upcoming club dates. The authors developed newsletters that aligned with each of our STEM Career Club meetings to keep parents informed; however, they can be modified and used to share information about any club or classroom. The newsletter can be printed and sent home, or shared through email, school website, or social media.
