Professional Learning for school leaders, teachers and parents
Achieving effective, sustainable partnerships in education through improving capacity for relationships, communication and engagement in learning.
We are committed to developing supportive relationships with our clients, facilitating learning, mentoring and coaching through a relational and strategic process.
Five decades of research has consistently shown parent engagement has a significant impact on student learning outcomes. Recent research indicates that random acts of engagement have little or no impact on the long term educational outcomes of students or on a whole school approach to developing a culture of family-school partnerships.
Practically Learning has developed three unique learning packages to assist schools to develop authentic partnerships with parents. Connect, Engage and Inspire Learning has been designed to provide guidance for a consistent, strategic, whole school approach to developing relationships with families, to engage parents in learning and to inspire authentic partnerships that have a positive impact on student learning.
Our three phase process takes you through the journey towards a sustainable approach to family-school partnerships which we link with your Annual Action and Improvement Plan and the AITSL standards. The training provided for teachers is able to be applied to registration requirements as it includes a certificate of attendance and opportunities for reflection on learning during the sessions.
The second phase of the family-school partnerships journey focusses on capacity building of both educators and parents. Through this phase school leaders will learn about current parent engagement practices and develop strategies to support teachers to implement these in their community. Teachers will become more confident and capable of enabling parents to engage in learning and to recognise improvement in learning of their students.
