Engaging Parents in Education

London

Date(s): 23/09/2008 to 01/01/1970 (-14145 Day Event)

Chaired by: Margaret Tulloch, Chair of the Board, Advisory Centre for Education (ACE)

Parental Engagement is high on the Government agenda, with real recognition that actively engaging parents leads to improved performance in the classroom. However, there are many challenges to involving parents in their children's education. Raising awareness, apathy and the ability to reach the disengaged are just some of the barriers that must be overcome. Innovation and good practice are essential if these objectives are to be met.

Capita's National Conference focusing exclusively on the Engagement of Parents in Education will bring together a wide range of case studies at both primary and secondary level to give delegates the chance to learn from the experiences of other schools throughout the country. Areas of focus include:

Engaging fathers and the importance of role models

Getting parents "in the door" in areas of deprivation and disengagement

Using ICT to bring engagement into the 21st Century
