Parent Advocacy Coaching ~ Core Concepts

Parent Advocacy Coaching ~ Core Concepts

This series of online workshops is designed to introduce the essential traits, challenges, and needs of 2E, gifted, and curious learners while equipping parents with practical tools to advocate effectively, foster growth, and build resilience.

Through a series of six 90-minute online workshops (fortnightly), we’ll explore strategies, discuss ways to connect and share insights, as we navigate the unique journey of raising an asynchronous learner.

As part of this course, participants will also gain access to a private Facebook group designed for sharing course resources and connecting with other participants. This supportive community will provide an additional space for collaboration and to begin building your village.
