Abstract

This article explores the influence of parental models on the
dynamics of educational partnerships, emphasizing a
relational perspective. Educational partnerships—defined
as the collaborative relationships between families and
schools—are essential for creating a cohesive support
system around the student. However, such partnerships are
not merely procedural; they are relational in nature,
deeply influenced by the emotional, communicational, and
behavioral models that parents display both at home and in
interactions with the school. Using a blend of theoretical
references and qualitative insights from eight interviewed
teachers, this paper identifies patterns in how parents’
attitudes, consistency, and openness affect the climate of
collaboration with educational institutions. Additionally,
the article incorporates personal reflections drawn from
practical educational contexts. Findings suggest that
successful partnerships emerge when parents act as
positive role models, communicate respectfully, and show
trust in educators. These dynamics not only support student
development but also foster a school culture built on
cooperation, empathy, and shared goals.
