The ISQ Parent Network has kindly agreed to provide a dedicated online session for LEQ Principals and their school teams around parent engagement, relationships, expectations and communications.

We are aware that a number of our schools have had recent experiences with some challenging situations and our intention in holding this session is to have an opportunity to discuss how we manage and respond when things are going well and when they are not going so well.

Some of the topics Amanda Watt, Executive Director and Jacky Dawson, Parent Engagement Program Manager will address include:

general overview of the principles and research behind parent engagement
how do we work together to equip aspiring and new principals in this space
supporting parents of children with disability and managing expectations, particularly during transitions (e.g. early years settings to the classroom or next phase of schooling)
where can we access support and mentoring
how do we work with parents to help them see the importance of celebrating child’s progress and release of parent and support dependency
