CEU Course Description

Research is telling us that one of the most important factors in a student’s educational experience is the support they find at home. Parental engagement is now widely considered to be of vital importance when working towards student success. In order to boost parental engagement, however, teachers and parents need to have a strong, meaningful, mutually-supportive relationship. This can be difficult to form and sustain. In this course, we’ll go over the research that discusses why a parent-teacher relationship and family-school engagement is so important, as well as several strategies to help teachers connect and engage with parents to support every student in their classes. 

CEU Course Objectives

2. Discuss the research-backed benefits that accompany an increase in parent engagement
3. Delve into the research and case studies that have worked to elucidate the ways in which parent engagement enhances student outcomes
