COOPERATION BETWEEN PARENTS/TUTORS AND TEACHERS IN FIRS YEARS OF PRIMARY SCHOOLS

Summary/Abstract: In its past, as well as in presents and future, school remains to be the most responsible and competent authority for establishing fundamental educational values determined by the society. Considering present very turbulent transitional period, very often influenced by reorganisations, integrations, different conflicting interests in the society, countries and even region, which led to the general uncertainty, the school has ever been more exposed and faced with so many challenges. Therefor, schools are forced to establish and exercise strong and direct cooperation with parents but also with all others subjects in the society that can have direct or indirect impact of its core values and goals. No doubt that teachers are in the first front line, together with educational and physiological services and management, responsible to ensure adequate cooperation among all relevant parties/subjects. It seems that, in the history of schools as institutional entities, there hasn’t been more space but at the same time so much sensitive ground for establishing different forms of cooperation. For these reasons, the main goal of this paper is dully identification, analysis, study and elaboration of the most expedient forms and models of cooperation between teachers and parents/tutors of the students. Very profound theoretical and practical expertise shows that there is almost no a single question with essential importance for institutional education, that can not be properly addressed by teachers and the parents/tutors. The younger student is, the cooperation has to be more intense, overall and direct. In the focus of mutual interest there would have to be questions and following problems: adaptation of student to the school ambient, especially raising awareness of necessity to fulfil all the tasks, respect of school discipline, development and promotion of social interaction among students, improvement general conditions including IT equipment and lectures modernisation, arranging and cultivating classroom and other school space, regular organisation of cultural events, visits and other extra-curricular activities as well as school interconnection with the social environment and providing the conditions for successful socialisation, humanisation and affirmation of students, and a whole host of other mutually interesting and challenging issues. Together with crucial precondition of establishing permanent, direct and sincere cooperation between teachers and parents/tutors, all this should eventually result with new better adjusted and student-friendly learning and extracurricular educational model, which will optimise students learning conditions so each student will have optimal conditions for learning, advancement and development of their own cognitive, affective, psychomotor and other traits immanent to a healthy, cultured, humane and whole personality
