Clear communication between home and school is key to ensuring ongoing, effective partnerships for learning. Young people learn in a variety of environments – school, home, clubs, social groups, etc. When the language of learning in these worlds, especially home and school can be readily accessed and understood by families, learning will be enhanced. John Hattie (2009) suggests that many students operate in two worlds and that negotiating the gap between these two worlds can detract from learning. It is vital that school staff and families share, understand, and effectively communicate a common language around learning.
