Australian Government funding assisted a dedicated CSPA project team to develop six Video-Workshops and Facilitator Guides – three for primary and three for secondary schools.

Hear useful and at times challenging comment from such specialists as Andrew Fuller, Prof John Hattie, Prof Donna Cross & Dr John Edwards – as well as other valuable research findings from around the world.

A local facilitator is instructed via the guides on how to lead principals, school staff and families through a series of video-workshops to explore many aspects of engaging families in learning and wellbeing.

Parents are encouraged to use the many practical ideas on the website to develop a better understanding of how to grow the partnership between home and school to benefit all within the school community.

A major focus of these new resources is to build capacity in both families and school staff to work in partnership. This website invites parents to access the information on-line or to download each of the resources.

These new family engagement resources can be found at: https://cspa.schoolzineplus.com/parent-engagement-workshops
