Cooperation between the school and the parents as an element of the quality of school

The diploma work titled Cooperation between the school and the parents as an element of the quality of school explores the problem of quality assessment and assurance of cooperation between teachers and parents at the special school with lower educational standard. Basic theoretical background in the fields of quality, evaluation and participation in the educational process, contribute to the understanding and implementation of research results. The research part of the study, based on a qualitative analysis of two questionnaires for parents and teachers, examines the organization and attendance of various forms of cooperation, parents’ opportunities to influence on the school life and the frequency of their expression of opinions, suggestions and comments. Also, study explains the impact of working experience and personal qualities of teachers on organization of various forms of cooperation. The results show that the educators with more experiences organize more forms of cooperation with parents and that the parents in those groups evaluate better their affect on the life in school. As a good form of cooperation parents specify an individual conversation time, where they obtain more information about their children. That is why daily contacts and special consulting hours are gaining in importance. Building a partnership requires open and honest communication, which is flowing in more relaxed forms of cooperation. In those parents have formed a more active role. The findings relate to a specific school, and therefore can not be generalized to other educational institutions, but may contribute to further research in this area, improving the concrete practice in the studied institution, the implementation of similar approaches in other organizations and comparisons between them
