Based on extensive research and practical experience, 100 Ideas for Secondary Teachers: Engaging Parents presents ideas for supporting the most effective forms of parental engagement in secondary schools.
Engaging parents in their children’s learning is the best lever we have to raise achievement in schools and parental support is essential to help students progress throughout their secondary education. Written by two of the leading experts in the field, this book explains why it is so essential to get parents on board and how this can be done efficiently and effectively by all school staff.
Tackling common issues such as homework, exams and transition, Janet Goodall and Kathryn Weston provide evidence-based ideas that can be implemented quickly and easily by all secondary teachers and school leaders, including form tutors and heads of year.
‘Parental engagement is the key to unlocking the true potential of all students. This book offers accessible and research-based methods to help teachers embed this in their classroom practice.’
– Ross Morrison McGill, @TeacherToolkit
