Engaging Parents in Education focuses on developing strategies to actively involve parents in their children’s educational journeys. Participants will explore various methodologies that enhance communication between educators and families, fostering a supportive atmosphere for student success. The course integrates project-based learning, allowing participants to apply theoretical concepts in practical settings while encouraging collaboration and innovation.
Through interactive sessions, learners will gain insights into effective engagement techniques, the role of parental involvement in academic achievement, and the creation of resources that facilitate ongoing communication. By the end of the program, participants will have developed a comprehensive final project aimed at implementing a parent engagement initiative within an educational context, providing them with tangible outcomes that can be shared and published in Cademix Magazine.
