An authentic school is more than a space for learning and teaching. It is a guardian of relationships. The most important is the one between parent and child – a relationship you must acknowledge and protect. Whenever a new idea or program is introduced, the school community will, quite rightly, investigate its impact. Difficult questions will be asked and honest answers will be expected. An authentic school encourages this dialogue and actively supports the parent and child relationship.
A FREE WEBINAR FOR TEACHERS AND SCHOOL LEADERS
SAFE SCHOOLS: REALITY, THEORY OR OPPORTUNITY?
The Safe Schools program, and the discussion surrounding it, demonstrate clearly that parents have strong, individual views about their children’s education. An authentic school expects parent advocates and protestors to seek information, engage in open forums, speak out, and take a stand for their children.
On Tuesday 10 October at 4pm, I will host a live webinar, to explore these important questions;
Does your school encourage parents to be advocates for their children?
How does your school protect the crucial relationship between parent and child?
Please join us.
Places are filling fast!
In this 1 hour webinar, we’ll examine the fundamental principles that authentic schools apply to protect the parent-child relationship, and to encourage parents to be a voice for their children.
I will make particular reference to the proposed compulsory Safe Schools program and its potential impact on your school community.
The webinar will equip you to:
- Identify the benefits and limitations of the Safe Schools program.
- Find essential links between your school’s curriculum and the Safe Schools program.
- Answer key issues raised by parents or assist with pathways to those who can.
- Support your school community in advocating for a safer school, with or without the Safe Schools program.
Can’t make it? Register anyway! You’ll be given access to watch the webinar replay – on demand, at your own convenience.
But remember, when we reach the limit on attendees, registration will close.
I look forward to your presence at the webinar on Tuesday, 10 October at 4pm.
