I'm particularly pleased to see our latest thought leadership piece being published today- because it feels hugely personal. One day, my child said, "I can't go to school today." That was the start of 9 months of part-time timetables, meetings with school, contact from local authority attendance officers, juggling home-schooling and a full-time job, and so much more. It's been a rough ride, but I'm so fortunate that my child's school has gone above and beyond to support us - weekly emails from his teacher sharing all the strategies they're putting in place, a pastoral team of support, starting school in the nurture room, reduced timetable, extra sensory breaks, allowing him to wear his own clothes and bring a toy in from home, and a big box of tissues ready and words of support during a few very emotional meetings. I really couldn't ask for more. This week we're celebrating. My son managed to go on a week-long residential trip, something that was unthinkable only a month ago. We're not out of the woods yet. We're bound to encounter more setbacks. But finally, there's a little glimmer of light at the end of a long, dark tunnel. School non-attendance is a complex problem and there's no easy solution. I hope that this think piece will help give schools ways to see the child behind the attendance figures, and find ways to support them. Because every child deserves to feel safe and happy and have the right to learn. #EBSA #Attendance #Education
If you work in education, in any role, you'll be well aware of the deepening crisis around school attendance. It's a hot topic affecting all of us, including families at home and the numbers are increasingly concerning. So what can we actually do, realistically, in our own settings, to dismantle barriers to school attendance so that every child, in every setting, can thrive and fulfil their potential? Take a look at our latest think piece, People Not Numbers: Dismantling Barriers to School Attendance, where we explore: • factors behind rising levels of pupil absence • reframing the school attendance crisis • adopting a puzzle-solving mindset towards school attendance • what we mean by ‘family engagement’? • barriers to effective family engagement • family engagement as one way to address school attendance Download your free copy today ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/e68UJT6d #familyengagement #community #attendance

This approach engages the community in understanding activity-based learning by allowing them to observe or participate in activities. It helps them recognize the purpose and importance of each activity in fostering the overall development of children.

The session will also provide a compelling overview of the Families and Educators Together (FET) team model at the heart of my book On The Same Team: Bringing Educators and Underrepresented Families Together, and how these teams foster more inclusive and equitable school communities. #familyengagement #schoolculture #teachers #students #families #schooleaders #NAFSCEassembly Solution Tree NAFSCE - National Association for Family, School, and Community Engagement TalkingPoints Colorado Department of Education Rebecca Bauer Anne T.

“Imagine your children are ready for school, and you’ve already secured their education. Imagine knowing that, even if you’re no longer there tomorrow, they won’t have to rely on others to meet their needs. Right now, there’s a promo running that ends on December 31, offering you the chance to secure your children’s future at a more affordable rate. By putting something down today, you’re making a commitment to your children’s well-being and setting a disciplined plan in motion. If something were to happen tomorrow, wouldn’t you want the peace of mind knowing your children are well taken care of? Let’s take this step together and secure their future.” #leadway #childeducation #parenting #collegefunding #financialindependence
