Parental engagement - Can you help with a future episode?
… I’m working on the second series of the We Are In Beta podcast and looking for inspirational examples of how schools have leveraged the power of their parent communities to improve outcomes.
The kind folks at Parents and Teachers for Excellence have been helping out and found some fascinating stories already. Stay up to date with their Phone Free Schools Campaign.
If you know of a school whose parental engagement story should be told or want to share yours, email me or tweet me. Thanks.
Lastly, thank you to everyone who offered to listen upcoming episodes of the podcast before they’re released. It’s been super helpful.
