Re-Imagine Parental Engagement
- Research shows that parental engagement in schools is closely linked to better student behavior, higher academic achievement, and enhanced social skills. Parent engagement also makes it more likely that children and adolescents will avoid unhealthy behaviors, such as sexual risky behaviors, tobacco and alcohol, and other drug use.
- Covid 19 has caused many in education to reimagine the way we deliver education during and after any type of disruptive event or situation. The reality is there is no substitute for a great relationship and collaboration between parents and schools in providing the best education possible for our children. There is a need during and beyond the Covid 19 to strengthen that collaboration.
- Lesson Learned: We are all aware that the outbreak of Covid 19 had a drastic impact on some aspects of education and the collaboration with parents and schools. The importance of having a seamless educational system that is supportive of the educational needs of our children is extremely important regardless of the circumstances and should be a standard way of doing business.
