Abstract
This paper aimed to evaluate a parent-teacher partnership project implemented in one laboratory school in Metro Manila.Parent-teacher partnership is a collective effort by parents to work together for the benefit of learners.A project aims to address a particular problem and can be an intervention which ends once it has been implemented and regularly used. Participants are middle-income parents.Convenient sampling was used to identify the participants.After planning and designing a project in support of parent-teacher partnership, it was implemented to equip the parents with the necessary strategies to assist their children in flexible learning. After close collaboration with the parents,the researchers evaluated the project using a survey questionnaire.The results show that the objectives of the project were met, and the content was helpful in supporting parent-teacher partnerships.Also, relevant findings revealed that parents perceived the project as informative, as they gained strategies and tools to support their child's academic learning and were equipped with socio-emotional strategies to manage their child’s socio-emotional needs and to teach them how to navigate the educational technologies used in the school.The results of the study provided insights into revisiting policies to engage parents so they can develop the preparedness to support their children’s learning.
