“…Furthermore, other research (Heron & Axelrod,1976) has suggested that telephoning of parents regarding student performance increases both test scores and the amount of time parents spend tutoring. Several articles (Bittle, 1975;Heward ~ Chapman, 1981;Minner, Beane, & Prater, 1986) have supported the effectiveness and efficiency of the use of messages prerecorded on an answering machine. That only 0.4% of teachers in the current study avail themselves of this option suggests that teacher trainers consider including this technique as part of telephone skill training.…”

Parental involvement in their handicapped child's education is generally promoted by the field and protected by legal mandates. To determine the nature and extent of parent-teacher interactions, a questionnaire was sent to 1,418 special education teachers across the country. A total of 904 (64%) teachers responded. Overall frequency of contacts and time spent were calculated, as well as the type of IEPrelated roles teachers assume. Other types of interactions such as written, telephone, conferences, parent groups, and cooperative agreements also were sampled. Results indicate teachers assume a number of responsibilities when interacting with parents and use a variety of methods for doing so. Implications for teacher training are discussed.

“…TAM and fax machines can function as inexpensive, easy-to-use, effective communication strategies that lessen the time demands on teachers and parents (Salend, 1994). Individualized homework assignments and comments concerning students' homework completion rates can be recorded on a TAM and communicated to parents through use of a coded system that protects confidentiality (Minner, Beane, & Porter, 1986). For example, a message for a parent might be stated as, "Although student #5 is improving, we still need to check to see that all homework assignments have been completed," Parents' questions and concerns can also be recorded and played back by teachers, who can respond to parental comments through followup phone calls, notes, or meetings.…”
