Epstein’s theory of overlapping spheres of influence was commissioned as the bedrock of analysis in this study. The study focused on the strategies and challenges that were used by the parents to support their children’s learning as well as the possible solutions. The study found out that parents as implementers of curriculum and curriculum innovation, used strategies such as e-learning, social media, listening to children’s concerns and providing accurate information. The parents’ efforts were however impeded by factors such as limited e-learning and related resources, perceived cost, lack of skill and knowledge and time constrains. This study recommends that the government, community and school should recognise that parents are significant stakeholders in the implementation of curriculum and curriculum innovation and as such there is need to improve relationships, communication and provision of resources to safeguard children’s learning in case future emergencies.","PeriodicalId":35223,"journal":{"name":"Educational Practice & Theory","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136160970","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Teacher-parent collaboration is essential to implementing behavior-management programs at home and in school consistently. The instant transition to distance learning during the pandemic, which challenged teachers and families, underscored the difficulties of the students with learning disabilities. Participants were 18 mothers of elementary-school children with ADHD from mid- upper-middle social class. The research tool was semi-structured, in-depth, non-directive interview. The interviews revealed parents' descriptions of withdrawal along with opportunity, parents' response to child's difficulties, parents' initiatives, and parents' feelings of support and lack of relevant support from the educational staff. Results emphasize the importance of parent-teacher cooperation, especially in times of crisis, and of teachers’ supportive role. Practical implications are sought for guiding teachers to promote communication with parents in future crisis situations.","PeriodicalId":35223,"journal":{"name":"Educational Practice & Theory","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136160944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
