An Opportunity To Re-Engage With Your Child’s Learning Journey
Let’s take 2023 to commit to being involved in our children’s learning…
As the new year begins, it's a great time to take a step back and reflect on your child's learning journey. As a parent, you play an integral role in your child's education, and research has shown that a strong partnership between school and home is essential for academic success.
According to a report by the National Center for Family and Community Connections with Schools, students with involved parents are more likely to earn higher grades, have better attendance, and score higher on standardized tests. In fact, the report found that students with involved parents are up to three times more likely to have grades that meet or exceed standards.
So, as we enter the new year, consider re-engaging with your child's learning journey by taking an active role in their education. Here are a few ways you can do that:
Stay informed about what your child is learning at school. Ask their teacher about the curriculum and how you can support it at home.
Create a supportive learning environment at home. This could include setting aside a dedicated study space, establishing a regular homework routine, and providing access to educational resources such as books and educational websites.
Encourage your child to take an active role in their learning. Ask them about their interests and find ways to incorporate them into their studies. For example, if your child loves sports, you might use math concepts to help them understand statistics or geometry.
Communicate with your child's teacher regularly. Stay in touch through email or phone calls and attend parent-teacher conferences.
By taking an active role in your child's education, you can help set them up for academic success and make a positive impact on their learning journey. So, as the new year begins, consider re-engaging with your child's education and working together as a team to support their growth and development.
