Engagement between a family and their child’s educational teams is a vital component to a child’s academic and social success. Your participation can help establish an open line of communication about your child’s needs and ensure your child is getting consistent support from all the adults in their life. Below are suggestions for how you can be an active participant in your child’s learning and development at school:
- Schedule a time with your child’s teacher to discuss their learning progress and see how you can help ensure you are encouraging learning gains at home.
- Make sure you keep your child’s provider up to date on any trends you are noticing with your child, such as likes and dislikes, to make sure everyone is on the same page.
- Ask your learning provider about how you can get involved in the program or classroom activities.
- Consider joining the parent-teacher association (PTA) at your child’s school if they have one.
