Abstract

With the development of educational philosophies, the collaboration between schools and families in junior high school education is gaining increasing attention. Currently, various models for this collaboration are being explored in practice, such as innovating parent-teacher meetings, jointly organizing school-family activities, and establishing online communication platforms. However, some issues have also emerged, including insufficient depth and continuity of communication, significant differences in parental educational philosophies and methods, and unclear delineation of responsibilities between home and school. This study aims to improve the current situation through strategies such as establishing deep communication mechanisms, conducting parent education and guidance, and clarifying the boundaries of rights and responsibilities between home and school. The goal is to enhance the quality of school-family collaboration in junior high schools, promote the comprehensive and healthy development of students, and provide valuable reference examples and theoretical support for the management practices of home-school collaboration in junior high schools.
