Claire Venables

TEACHER TRAINER

OVERVIEW

We have long known that parental engagement is directly linked to student achievement and with the recent shift to online learning, building a strong partnership with the parents and caregivers has become more important than ever. Without it, attempts at remote teaching could easily lead to mismatched expectations and disappointment. In contrast, we have seen how educators who prioritize relationships with families experience better levels of student motivation, participation and behavior during online lessons.

Join this webinar to learn practical ways educators and school management can strengthen the relationship with families, build trust, confidence and establish a genuine partnership between home and school.
