Collaboration Sessions with Blackpool Research School and Education Endowment Foundation (EEF)
Parental Engagement Guidance Report
A twilight session aimed at leaders with responsibility for Teaching & Learning, middle leaders, and teachers at all phases.
| Dates: | 26th June 2023 |
| Time: |
16:00 |
| Venue: | Virtual Session |
| Delivered by: | Simon Cox and Charlotte Hindley |
| Cost: | Fully Funded |
Session Overview:
Parents play a crucial role in supporting their children’s learning, and levels of parental engagement are consistently associated with better academic outcomes. Evidence from our Teaching and Learning Toolkit suggests that effective parental engagement can lead to learning gains of +3 months over the course of a year.
Yet it can be difficult to involve all parents in ways that support children’s learning, especially if parents’ own experiences of school weren’t positive.
In this twilight we will explore the evidence in the EEF’s guidance report, designed to support primary and secondary schools to work with parents – particularly those from disadvantaged homes. We will explore the clear and actionable recommendations which we hope will support an evidence-informed approach.
