2.1 Family Engagement 4.6.1-Describe The Advantages and Importance of Family or Caregiver Involvement in Learner Development

Family engagement is important for students, parents, and teachers. It creates communication between home and school, helping to guide students' learning and build their self-confidence. Both parents and teachers benefit from family engagement - parents can stay involved in their child's education without being physically present at school, while teachers gain insight into students' cultures and learning styles. Schools can engage families through various communication methods like newsletters, emails, websites, and information nights to keep parents informed about events and their child's learning. Teachers in particular should aim to build early relationships with families and communicate regularly, both about class topics and individual students' achievements.

4.6.1-Describe the advantages and importance of family or caregiver involvement
in learner development

Family engagement plays a major role in student and teacher lives, as well as

the parents. It is important for the students, parents, and teachers because it creates

communication between home and school. Family engagement is not something that

only benefits the student. It also benefits the family and teacher. It helps to create a

solid path of learning for the student.

The advantages of family engagement is beneficial to everyone. A family

benefits because they can help guide their child. They can help them with problems

they are having and congratulate them on success. It is a way for them to stay involved

without physically having to be at the school. A child benefits from having their parents

engaged in their learning because they can receive guidance from them. Students that

have their family involved with their schooling benefit by the reassurance to their self

confidence. A teacher also benefits because it puts everyone on the same page when

helping the child. It also gives the teachers an opportunity to better understand their

students' culture and ways of learning. It gives a chance for more people who care

about the child to become engaged in their learning. (evidence 2.1.1)

Schools can get families involved in many different ways. It is important to keep

parents informed at the district and school level. The district should keep the families

informed on big events. This can be done through email, newsletters, and the district

website. It is also important for the individual schools to keep the parents informed in

the same way as the district. The school can also keep parents informed by providing
information nights. The important thing about this line of communication is to keep it

simple, make it consistent, and easily accessible. A teacher should also communicate

with families. The sooner a teacher can build a relationship with families the better the

year will go for everyone. This means not waiting until there is a problem to open the

line of communication.

Teachers have various tools they can use for communication. On a class level

they can communicate about what the kids are learning. This can be done by sending

newsletters, emails, and pictures. They can also use apps like remind to communicate

reminders to parents such as picture day is tomorrow. A teacher can also communicate

on an individual level. Reaching out to just a few families a week to share something

good can make a huge impact. You can reach out by writing a note or sending an

email. This shows you care about the student and see the best in them.
