Inform families about fairness issues to support learning at home is an example of which practice?

• A. Inform families about issues of fairness that are being addressed in the classroom so they have an opportunity to support this learning from home.
• B. Keep fairness topics within the classroom only.
• C. Deny families information about classroom decisions.
• D. Use school-only language to discuss fairness.

Answer: (A)

Partnering with families by informing them about fairness issues being addressed in the classroom supports learning at home. When families know what fairness topics are being explored, they can reinforce and extend that learning in daily routines, conversations, and activities, creating consistency between school and home. This transparent communication shows respect for families as partners and builds trust, which is essential for equitable, inclusive learning. Keeping topics within the classroom, withholding information, or using only school language would disconnect families from the learning process and make it harder for children to transfer concepts home.
