Beschreibung:
This practical resource provides strategies and ideas that will contribute to the effective engagement of families and the involvement of parents in their child's education. Parental engagement with class teachers has a significant and very positive impact on children's learning, and strategies here have been extensively trialled in a variety of different settings. Nicola Morgan shows teachers how to understand the importance of family engagement and evidence the outcomes, how to engage the hard-to-reach and use whole school strategies to encourage families to be more involved. She also focuses on ethnic minority groups, working families, fathers and the sometimes hard-to-reach.
