# data[].attributes.body
As we all know that the early life od a child is consited of School and Home.In order to raise healthy,happy and succesfull pupils,the educator and parents need to be in the same circle.I usually have very good communication with my parents ,however , Rarely,I have some difficulties to interact the some parents.In order to solve this dilemma,I want to be a part of this course.

# data[].attributes.body
I’ve enrolled this course because I want to engage parents completely. I’ve been a teacher for 13 years and I couldn’t succeed to build a strong relationship with all parents. Some of them are really concerned with the success of their children and the others don’t show much interest in their children’s school life. I want to learn how to make the second group engage in school life.This really matters. I believe that this mooc enables us to overcome the difficulties that we come across.

# data[].attributes.body
I attended this course because my parents have little parent support. I think that the parents should participate more in the educational environment. I need to know how to achieve this. There are many parents who want to support teaching, but we have to do this in a certain system.

# data[].attributes.body
I joined this course because of a need of envolving pupils' parents in every day school life. And you know the best ways to do it, I suppose)

First of all, I must say that the online trainings here are very professional,provided sources are useful and advices are practical.What triggered my interest in this topic,as I work in a private high school which has parents who have high expectances, sometimes it is really hard to know how to involve them in the process.Of course,I am an experienced teacher.but I believe that I still have some areas need to be improved.I want to learn how to assign specificroles to parents in the learning process and to know exactly what role should the parents have

# data[].attributes.body
The main reason why I joined this course is the fact that I consider that children's education should be shared by parents and teachers. I don't think that the percentages are 50% + 50%, because there are moments, situations and matters that will be faced up by parents and by teachers with different grades of involvement, but I definitely believe that any child's maturity should be supported by both parts: parents and teachers. Thus, I consider that effective parental engagement is essential in our students' learning.
Thanks to this course, I hope to learn some strategies to make parents engage with their children's life at school and with our school itself. Iam sure that many colleagues have good experiences to tell us and great advices to follow.

# data[].attributes.body
The main reason I'm in this course is exactly acquiring the means, knowledge of more and better involve parents in the educational process donate children.

Parents are primarily responsible for the education of children. Teachers should be employees, not just "teaching" knowledge, but educating for knowledge and academic learning are truly internalized.

I feel that parents increasingly delegate to school the responsibility of educating, resigning from his function. Increasingly, parents are "far" from the school. We must bring them to school to better monitor their children. Acquiring strategies to help me achieve this goal, it's my big goal this MOOC.

# data[].attributes.body
The reason why I'm here is because in my school there's a problem with getting parents involved in school life. The number of parents who come to school called or not, who show interest in meeting teacher staff or coming to parent's meeting is very small. So I'm wondering what are the ways that I could implement in my own work to raise that number a bit.

# data[].attributes.body
The topic seems interesting enough to get me started with online education platforms. Right now I am at crossroads: I have been away from the classroom for 5 years and I have been forced to act only as a parent; Believe me, it's not always easy to be as involved as you want to...

My expectations from this course are to be able to confront myself and my school practice with a much wider community, thus improving my ability to engage parents in students education. From the previous courses I acquired a very useful insight in other contexts by collegues from other countries and I'm sure it'll be the same in this course.

# data[].attributes.body
I am here to learn more about how to engage parents to students' education in a productive, efficient and healthy way. Parents' attitude towards state schools in Greece is not always positive I am afraid and I suppose educators can undertake some of the responsibility of that and try to work on things they can change to involve parents in their work and make them helpers  and supporters. So, I want to know about those ways and pass them on to teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
Joining this course gave us the opportunity to share experiences and practices.

School context are very different, just like families. There are parents that get involved and are always present while other´s are always out. It doesn´t mean that do (not) love their children. I Think it is just an attitude issue. They could moderate these attitudes from their own parent. They could (or could not) be present at school because of work, health problems, economics, social issues, or… or… or… Sometimes get engaged in school activities can be a choice. Sometimes there are no choice.

Teacher´s and schools professionals can be parents as well and sometimes they are in schools, looking for their students issues, instead of being present and engaged in their own children school live.

Understand these discrepancies in families, and deal with them in our day´s schools is one of my issues. Get strategies to engage those parents that are always “out” and facilitate them to be “in” their children´s school life. Reflect on strategies to deal with family and professional targets.

I think that for the well-being of the children we need a collaboration between the teachers, the territory and the families.

Attending this course I would like to improve my communication skills . Often , the problem with parents is being able to communicate with them and let them uderstand if their child has difficulties or problems. Moreover, I think the two "world" family and school have to work together for pupils well-being and education

# data[].attributes.body
In Primary Schools, where children are still at a very young, sensitive, in-need-of-protection age, parents are always striving to occupy some more 'space' in the school environment and educators to keep them in a 'safe' distance. I liked the idea of attending this course, because I really think that these two parties have a lot to give to each other plus they can contribute greatly to children's progress, development and prosperity if they manage to 'walk side by side'

# data[].attributes.body
At my school, parents are getting disconnected from their children's learning processes. In They think that the school is full of obligations and that parents have the right to demand. It's hard to make them feel that school and parents shouldn't be on opposite sides. As teachers, we feel little support, and children too. It's very difficult to work under these conditions and children aren't as successful as they could be.

# data[].attributes.body
I am a primary school teacher and my experience shows that students go best to school when parents participate in school activities when they have contact with and receive support from teachers. Also, school drop-out rates are reduced and the school community is working smoothly. I would like to enrich my knowledge, to learn from teachers in Europe and other places of techniques they apply.

First of all, thanks a lot for the great opportunity to join this interesting & useful course! Think that it can give me valuable info & good practice regarding to involving parents in education. I'd like to motivate children's families to help their boys & girls related to successful studying & project - based learning. As a teacher in English to young learners, I'd like to invite them in class & to learn foreign languages together with children. The results will be amazing! Thanks! :)

I enrolled on this course because parental engagement is an issue that need be tackled in order to improve students' academic results. I am currently working in a school where behavioural problems and poor academic performance are significant. A positive interation "teacher-parents" can have positive effects on academic performance as it allows a coordination of efforts. I hope to share experiences and learn some strategies on how to promote this partnership between school and parents.

I'm a language teacher in a vocational school and I'm also a class diretor as well as the coordinator of class diretors. From my experience I can tell that few parents engage actively at school and usually  they only come to school  when they are asked to or at the end of each term to receive their chidren's end of term evaluation. I would like to change this situation so I think this course can be an interesting opportunity to learn strategies  to motivate parents to be more active and cooperative. Maybe then I can share this knowledge with my school peers and contribute for  a real change.

Unfortunately, in vocational high schools, where I work, there is no parental engagement and hopefully with this MOOC I will find some ways to change it.

Parental partnerships can foster so much positivity thus enabling a strong bond to be developed which can only help the child to improve and progress. As a school we have strong relationships with parents at the lower end of school where they drop their children off daily and pick them up. However, by the time that the children are older (9-11) we don't have the connections due to independence and also due to issues such as parents splitting up

# data[].attributes.body
I am in the course because I consider the participation of parents very important because the father is a father and the mother is a mother, but it must be one of the few things for which no formation is required and the school does not have the mission of filling that gap in an organized way

Adolescence is a quite critical life stage. I agree that some of our students don't show who they really are. Some of the parents don't understand their children's behavior at school because they are totally different at home. By joining these different perspectives and adding parents' experience on their kids to teaching strategies, we will be able to reach the learner's interests and improve learning outcomes. Their motivation can be boosted if parents understand what education involves and teachers get an insight of the hidden side of the student. This way, everybody will do their share regarding the building of character and the preparation for the future professional.
I hope to exchange some ideas on how to attract the parents' interest and cooperation with school as children are their/the country's major investment.

# data[].attributes.body
I really think that involving parents in what their children do at school is very important both for their learning and for their growth. Sometimes teenagers have problems connected to being their age and an open dialogue between families and school is crucial. Then presenting parents the curriculum and the projects their children will be involved help them appreciate our work and cooperate with us.

# data[].attributes.body
I really belive that parents are important in students' education. They have to partecipate to their children's school life in order to improve their school performances, not only supporting them when they fail and  encuraging them to  try again, but also beeing proud of their success. Teachers and parents must work together for the benefit of the students.

I've joined this course because parental involvement in school life is one the main problematic areas in our school. Parents are not willing to collaborate, but have high expectations for their children's academic results, which, on the other hand, is impossible without their support and help.

I participate in this course, because I would like to involve parents in the learning procedure of their children not in the traditional way... many things have changed in education and parents should understand that precure for learning is not any more the right solution...

More than that I am a life long learner, so everything new I implement in my teaching is a blessing for my and my students.

Since I am a psychologist is even more difficult to get parental engagement in my activities, since they give greater value to classroom activities or those related to the syllabus. However, I haven´t given up and I keep trying to accomplish this challenging goal. I am looking forward to knowing how you have been dealing with and mainly your main actions to solve this difficulty.
