Summary/Abstract: The search of optimal models of cooperation with the family environment constitutes an essential element of professional responsibility of many teachers. Awareness of the educational potential of parents increases the teachers’ determination to attempt to incorporate the family environment in school life to a greater degree, the result of which is sharing responsibility for the educational process and its effects. The dynamic structure of the cooperation and collaboration between educators and parents demands constant modification of behaviours as well as reaching for innovative solutions which, through the merging of the forces and socio‑emotional closeness, become the foundation for the development of a partnership based on a readiness to undertake efforts for the common and personal good. However, this task is not easy; focusing on their personal needs, parents and teachers tend to criticise each other more and more, which inevitably results in an atmosphere detrimental to the development of partnership and diminishing to the essence and meaning of education. This article delves into the issue of parental involvement in school life. It also reflects on the exemplary teaching practices resulting in actual implementation of innovative solutions focused on enhanced collaboration and cooperation.
