We had to do a statement of our teaching philosophy for ed. psych. at Macquarie. It's just an outline of how you'd ideally like to manage the classroom and relate to the students in your class, but we linked these ideas with classroom management techniques and specific philosophies (humanist, constructivist etc).

And from a humanist perspective, the role of the parent would be to take an active interest in their child's education. That is, what is being taught at the school, how the child feels about what's being taught, the child's relationship with the teacher, understanding that educating the child in academic areas isn't the sole purpose of schooling etc. Also, motivating the child would also factor largely in this..
