"Welcome back to Teaching with Valor, the podcast where we dive deep into the heart of teaching, exploring strategies and insights to support educators at every stage of their journey. I’m your host, Don Fessenden, and today, we’re talking about one of the most important first steps of the school year: introducing yourself to parents.
The beginning of the school year is all about setting the tone—not just in your classroom but also in the relationships you’ll build with families. That first introduction to parents is your chance to establish trust, communicate your values, and let parents know that their children are in capable hands. When you approach this moment with clarity, warmth, and intention, it opens the door to positive collaboration throughout the year.
In today’s episode, we’ll explore effective strategies for introducing yourself to parents across all grade levels—whether you’re welcoming families of elementary students or kicking off a middle or high school year. We’ll talk about what to say, how to communicate, and how to create an introduction that reflects who you are as a teacher.
