I don't agree that an open-door policy is best. If a parent needs to talk to you, it's best to SCHEDULE a time for them to visit when it's mutually convenient and you can prepare for the conversation.
It's important to make educational decisions based on reputable academic research and in-depth knowledge of your students. Know your curriculum and the learning outcomes for the grade level you are teaching. Provide research showing why your instructional strategy is an effective way to reach those learning outcomes. Keep extremely up-to-date records (AT LEAST weekly) of student progress and behaviour, and use formative assessment to keep parents informed about their children. GIVE the parents a reason to trust you.

well, by doing your job very well as a teacher can solely make your students' parents to believe and have trust in you. Giving feedbacks honestly and on time can also add up. It is always effective when teachers and parents meet every once in a while to discuss about certain important things. I remembered when I was still studying, we always had this homeroom PTA(parents-teachers association) held every week so that parents may monitor the performance of the teacher as well as their children's peroformance... Plus in this way, teachers may be able to build raport with the parents.

An open-door policy is an essential start. Some parents will never trust you and always look for fault but most, if you do a good job, will see this. Just do your job to the best of your ability. Don't be afraid to contact parents, too. You don't have to wait for them to come to you about an issue.

Communicate, communicate, communicate.
Communication shows competency because it shows attention. I got in the habit of mailing a mini, very light weight progress report each month for each of my students. I found parents to be much more open, and less standoffish because they knew I was paying attentino to their childs education and because they never got suprised if a student got in trouble or had a bad grade.

Keep an open door policy, Send home weekly reports, if a child misses school that day, call the home to check on them, it shows the parent you are concern about their child.
