Strengthening parent engagement to improve student outcomes

This Spotlight summarises research on the impact of different types of engagement, and points to resources to assist teachers and leaders to constructively engage with parents. The Spotlight focuses on school-based engagement as well as how school-based engagement can enable parents to engage with students’ learning at home. Accordingly, “engagement” is discussed in terms of teachers and leaders engaging with parents and building teacher-parent relationships, as well as parental engagement with their child’s learning.
