Better Engagement with Education Communities
About this book
This timely and accessible resource explores the complex relationship between school practice and parental engagement and is a result of rich collaboration between educational professionals, policy makers and innovators in bridging the often-challenging gap between school and home.
Considering the way schools liaise with parents and the wider school community, the authors provide ideas for innovative ways to develop relationships. Based on unique findings from highly-effective schools who are committed to bridging this gap, this book highlights the importance of using effective partnerships and practitioners understanding the importance of a transparent two-way approach. Case studies and first-hand experiences from educational professionals, parents and members of parent councils will reveal how school policy reform can positively impact school engagement and outcomes for children. This book covers a broad range of areas such as:
- Parent councils
