Parent Engagement: Helping Families Become True Partners in Learning

In this episode of "In Search of Catholic School Excellence," Thomas Boles and Becky Wong discuss the importance of parent engagement in Catholic schools. They explore strategies for building strong partnerships with parents, including open communication, consistent and meaningful events, and providing support beyond traditional volunteering and fundraising. The conversation highlights practical ways to foster community, address parent needs, and create a welcoming environment that benefits students, families, and the entire school.Becky challenges us to look at Parent Engagement beyond behavior and fundraising conversations.  There are so many ways we can assist and partner with parents to make our schools the best place for them and their children.  Keep communication open and consistent as well as consider their needs in planning your events.  With parents in lock-step with the school, the students will thrive.  To get a copy our Parent Engagement Best Practices Checklist visit us here.  If you need help developing a better plan for parent engagement or communication, please schedule a time to talk with us today. https://bit.ly/Build-IT-Better-TogetherBecky Wong has been a teacher, admin, tech coordinator and innovator in Catholic Schools for over 25 years.  She not only assists schools as part of the Tech Team but has been instrumental in guiding the Archdiocese of San Francisco as it navigates the edtech decisions and ever-changing landscape of classroom technology. The In Search of Catholic School Excellence Podcast is brought to you by I Love My Tech Team. When technology doesn’t work, Catholic school leaders lose time, trust, and momentum.
