Engage Parents in Education with These 4 Easy Tips
Parental engagement is an important factor in the success of early learners, and with the right tools, it can be easy to involve parents in their child’s education. Here are four tips for engaging parents in their child’s education from the award-winning curricular team at Age of Learning School Solutions.
- Share Data Points: Choose learning solutions that provide data-driven feedback and provide parents with access to real-time updates about their child’s performance and progress. Staying informed and involved by looking at the same data points that teachers are using to track progress allows caregivers to be a part of their child’s learning journey.
- Connect Learning at Home and School: Connecting learning in school to learning at home can help to build a lifelong love of learning. App-based learning solutions make it easier for parents to get their child involved in educational activities outside of the classroom and can help to provide continuity in the learning process.
- Encourage Regular Communication: Encourage parents to communicate regularly with their child’s teacher so they can stay informed about the progress that their child is making.
- Foster Conversation Between the Parent and Child: Digital learning solutions that include immersive worlds and interactive games provide a platform for parents and children to talk. Encourage parents to ask their child about the activity they completed today or what part of the lesson sparked joy.
Involve parents in their child’s learning with ease by using My Reading Academy and My Math Academy, which can help increase family engagement. Learn more about the benefits of parental engagement in early education at www.AgeofLearning.com/Schools.
