100 ideas for primary teachers: engaging parents

Parental engagement with children's learning is the best lever we have to raise achievement in schools.

However, there is a gap between what is known from the research and actual practice at the chalkface in schools.

Parents are still often seen as 'helping' the school, rather than having a direct role in their children's learning.

Bringing together one of the main researchers in the field and an educational consultant, this book utilises their experience to present 100 evidence-based ideas to help primary teachers engage parents in their children's learning.
