Questions for discussion
Reflecting on your own setting, consider the following:-
- To what extent are we sure of what meaningful engagement with families looks like?
- What evidence do we have that family learning is improving the life chances of the families involved?
- Are outcomes for children improving as a result of their participation in family learning? How do we know?
- How can we demonstrate that families are feeling included and that they are participating, achieving and progressing?
- How are we ensuring that provision is responsive to the needs of families?
- How well are families supported in developing strategies which lead to positive relationships, better learning and better behaviour?
