Are you making the most of your Parent Council to engage parents?
Would you like to explore ways to create a genuine partnership with parents at your school?
When parents are involved in their child’s learning and in the life of the school, children do better. Parental involvement is thus a key lever for school improvement. The Scottish Government recognises the vital role that parents play in their children’s learning and encourages schools to strengthen their links with parents.
The aim of this event is to help you make the most of your parent council to develop an effective partnership with all parents at your school. It will cover:
Improving home school communication
- Building parental support for learning
- Working with parents to encourage positive behaviour
- Reaching out to disengaged families
- Listening and responding to parent voice
Fiona Carnie has extensive experience of working with parent councils and parent forums having led a government-funded project on this subject. She has written widely about innovative ways of involving parents including The Parent Participation Handbook (2011) and Harnessing Parent Power (2013) both published by Optimus.
Cost of workshop £110 to include refreshments and a light lunch.
The workshop takes place from 10am – 3pm
