Tecnology is the best and fast way to "teach" at home

In my place where I work , parents play a bad role in society and in their children. They don't educate their children at home, they often say: We bring our children to school in order to be taught and educated. 

# data[].attributes.body
Whenever parents come to School Events which help them to understand the problems their children may have, the results are excellent and their children are proud

I like the idea of family literacy night. I think values education with the help of parents can be a good idea. Students can make a short film about values education with their families and organize movie nights.

I agree that we have to form a school-family community. I prefer to ask/raise questions on different subjects, and children use them, even improve them, to find ways of thinking, different perspectives from family, to observe roles and relations, events and traditions, to come back with ideeas of collaborating in familly.That is not always the case, but we do it.

# data[].attributes.body
I do really agree with Eszter and Maria when they assert that teachers and parents should work together for a lifelong learning. It is not enough to check homework or read a book at home, parents should partecipate in activities with teachers at school in order to keep the flame of knowledge burning bright.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I agree with the ideas and examples shared by Eszter and Maria. Tecnology is the best and fast way to "teach" at home

I think these activities are easier with younger children. With teenagers as subjects become more demanding, most times parents find it difficult to keep up with the demanding level of difficulty. The ones who can afford it pay for private lessons, or some after-school supporting service. However, aiming other goals, namely bringing parents into the school to keep them closer, I think Azize Ozcan's idea of contests, quizz shows and even literature day may be quite effective. At least I am willing to try them.

# data[].attributes.body
It is a great idea, but to accomplish it, time and space are needed.

I really like these ideas. In my case I think that the fastest and most effective way to reach students and also to parents is through tacnologies.

Because my students are adolescents it is more difficult to put some of the examples into practice, but it is not impossible, we just have to go around the subject and work from the interests of the students. I completely agree with the fact that students can and do have the power to bring parents to school.I love the idea of ​​literature night.

# data[].attributes.body
I really liked the ideas.But it is hard to implement them in teenage students.For the teenage students and their parents, some contests or quiz shows can be held at school or a literature day which involves parents can be organized.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Sanja, I enjoy the idea but it is difficult with older students.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea is good, but difficult to do with children ages 18-19.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree wholeheartedly with the ideas presented in any of the videos!

Our school library usually organize an evening of activities, so that parents can come to school and contact with literature, poetry, representation, ... know and contact with Portuguese authors.

# data[].attributes.body
Thank you for great ideas. I have always been learning together with my students and often from them, in particular things with technologies, but have never considered involving parents. Our teachers have experience including them into international projects.  What is more, we organise a trivia contest and sports day for mixed student-parent-teacher teams. However, parents participation is very low. Now I understand that it is crucial to help parents enjoy lifelong learning by providing opportunities to learn from their own children.

# data[].attributes.body
The development of literacy in family is very important! Children should make quizzes for parents when they come back home from school about topics covered at school courses. It would be nice teachers assign family projects at home about issues from the every day life.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked very much the video examples, but, in my country do not exist home visits.
I bilieve it´s very important engage parents in projects. The constant communication between teachers and parents it´s an important resource for success.

# data[].attributes.body
I work in a secondary school; sometimes, when we call parents to talk about career development and the need to make career choices, some parents ask help to themselfs - and that is very interesting, because some parents (usualy those with not so good experiences in school) can learn with theirs sons and daughteurs about career opportunities and career processes.

# data[].attributes.body
I really think these ideas from the video are wonderful. Students educating their parents is the best. As teachers we can give them insight into motivation and help them create it at home. Work out the best strategies together. Children know their parents and they know how to get their parents attention.

# data[].attributes.body
I would love to see students educating their parents. Confidence will be restored both in school and in each other within the family.Quality bonding time will thus be a target met. I loved all the family members reading the same book idea

Thank you very much for the amazing ideas! It will be nice to invite parents at school for 'Family Literacy Night'. I'd like to suggest another great activity...to invite parents at school about digital lessons...let's code & program with us! Thxxxx! :)

# data[].attributes.body
It is not easy to involve parents, I have committed myself to involving them in communicating the projects of "teacher-gatewey-Etwinning-EMMA-SOFIA", I have communicated and involved parents in school and city projects. These are difficult times to overcome and there are beautiful times of wonderful collaboration. At school, in the last few days, I am proposing activities on "Wordle-cloud" and on the "Storybird" portal. In the latter we have created a virtual class, children are invited to create stories, when and where they want, then stories are read in class by the "author". Children and parents love these activities. In their homes, many children along with their parents are "experimenting" with these activities.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with both ideas. I find exiting to propose parents long life learning. I think my subject matter, music, is for this purpose, especially in Italy where many adults have had bad school experiences. I would like to try to involve them together with their children

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that bringing kids to home is a very difficult thing. The only thing that comes to my mind, in the field of my subject, that is, the sciences is to try to explain to the boys the healthy eating and the practice of motor activity in everyday life and to try to bring these healthy habits at home

# data[].attributes.body
The idea is quite understadable but it depends very much about parents we are talking about. There is a lot of younger and well educated parents which allready have strong demands for life long learning on their jobs and they hardly can find time to learn with the kids. So, it's possible but not always applicable.

Projectbased learning

I think children's motivation is the key to success! Without their motivation we could do nothing in school. From my experience I noticed that parents are very interested in doing projects at school with thei children. But the time is limited and, ufortunatelly, those activities are often very rare.

Hi all,
It will be a unique way to bring learning into the families even though in my country it not that easy. Although collaboration is always present in our classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree, but sociocultural level inequality generates a very large difference in family contexts. The school has to take this into account in whatever action it develops. I think the future will be the online platforms where parents can participate without time or movement restrictions.

# data[].attributes.body
I personally had the idea that family learning was limited to parental help in schoolwork. But after these videos, I changed that concept. I think these ideas are fantastic!

# data[].attributes.body
The idea of getting parents involved through school projects is great, a learning which streches out to reach parents is a longlife learning, students challenges at school should be always supporter by parents with an active role which means a full immersion in their children  educational tasks.

# data[].attributes.body
Last year I involved a class in an etwinning project called "Let's play EU 60" on European Union. I asked the students to show their parents the twinspace of the project and show them what we were doing. A lot of parents thanked me telling me that their relationship with their children improve thanks to the project because they had time to spend together having a look at the activities online. They also told me they learnt how to use some of the apps and tools I explained their children and they also learnt some more things on the EU thanks to the games their children created at school.

# data[].attributes.body
I totally agree with Eszter and Maria and I truly believe that the vision that parents have over education is reflected in their children learning development. I work with small kids in kindergarten and usually the projects that I develop includes the support and the real practice at home with their parents. When developing e-Twinning projects like Plant a tree for Peace, Family Tree, Christmas cards exchange, kids had my help and their parents help. They came to kindergarten and presented the result of their work as a team, or they came at class and we all worked together kids-parents-teacher. It is a great opportunity to make parents fall in love with education and embrace the process of the evolution of their child.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Maria Tobin - students should encourage parents to use online services provided by the school.
The 'One Book One community' program is original for primary school. I think it's difficult to make the same program in high schools.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is a good idea to involve parents in their children's learning. I teach at kindergarten and an activity we do with parents is to invite them at school twice a month to choose a book from the school library and read it at home with their child. Parents like it a lot and participate with great enthusiasm.

Do you agree with the ideas and examples shared by Eszter and Maria? What other strategies, actions, can we take as teachers to bring the joy of learning into families? How can we as teachers facilitate family and student learning by helping our students “teach” at home? Share your thoughts and ideas in the Padlet below.
The ideas below are interesting. Involving parents in a such way it is not easy, but projects could help. The example of the literacy night is really nice. Other projects could involve parents for crowdfunding or collecting funds for school. This could make parents feel important for their children and for the school: funds can be used to buy new didactic material to allow pupils to have better lessons.

The ideas and examples shared are very interesting. It´s difficult to bring parents at school because they have busy schedules but why not use digital tools to collaborate, social media to be in contact. Maybe some projects with the participation of parents like making videos about emmergency procedure (CPR). My students enjoy those projects and they were proud of them and their parents.

# data[].attributes.body
Totally agree.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the ideas shared in the Ester and Maria videos. Teaching that takes shape in the daily lives of students and families can help families realize the importance of what students learn. It also seems to me an interesting idea that the projects of the students require the participation of the parents. Finally, for parents who are distant from their children's education, teachers must demonstrate in their contact a more affable, facilitating and educationally oriented side of children. Parents should realize the importance of teachers' work. We all hear and admire those who care about us.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the idea of using the project of as way to involve parents. However I think that it is easier to involve the parents of younger students than parents of e.g. school leavers. We had some good practices of projects together with parents. One of the most successful was theater lessons and stage plays project.

I agree with Ester and Maria. Projects seem to be the best way to make students teach at home. To leave open endings permits the family to be creative, allows parents to share their experiences and search for new knowledge.

I agree with the ideas shared in the videos. In fact, as I work with older students, I think it is really important to work motivation for learning, motivation to become a lifelong learner. How can we be motivated to something? Probably by getting pleasure of what we’re doing… so let’s promote activities and projects that involve parents and students in discovering and experience that “joy of learning”.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Eszter and Maria and with you all. Unquestionably parents´ involvement of in school and in their children learning process brings benefits for both parts. Therefore parents may use school resources for their own advantage. So, parents can develop or upgrade skills, whether academic or personal.

In my school we've been implementing several and various activities, aiming, not only the increase of the family involvement in school life but also as a way to improve themselves as parents and as individuals. I leave you here some examples of those activities:

- Training / awareness sessions about educational and children upbringing issues.

. Theatre experience ( performance)

- Musical band membership

- Collaborative action on the cultural events organization

- Environmental education

As a teacher I can bring the joy of learning into families by organizing different projects where parents and students can discuss, collaborate and communicate.

When I was learning to be a teacher, there was a truthful conclusion that was shared when we address school learnings: we have to be the biggest enthusiasts of the learning process! If we fade our motivation to motivate, parents won't trust the power of learning; students will lack the joy to learn.
All examples are valid activities which make us powerful because we can give our students the power of knowledge. Of course things won't be easy at first, but we all like to be challenged. Let's challenge our schools!

# data[].attributes.body
Workshops parents-children together is a good way to put both learning together

# data[].attributes.body
I find the suggestions in the videos interesting and challenging but unfortunately these things can not happen in my school easily.A literacy night for example can not take place since most of the parents would not show up. More over in the video the parents seem to be familiar with such events while ours aren't.The suggestions ,once more ,are great but I strongly believe we need to have examples of real tasks to see how we can motivate parents and what kind of tasks fulfil our purposes.

# data[].attributes.body
The idea of a literacy night is quite interesting though difficult to promote. In the USA parent associations have a great weight in school management while in Portugal everything is centered on the Ministery of Education thus simple things like opening the school after hours may not be possible at all.
Promoting reading activities that envolve simultanously kids and parents seems a good path. This is why I'll try to implement my lesson plan that is about bringing parents to the language classroom to share a story they enjoyed when they were young (telling or reading from a book) .

# data[].attributes.body
as my other Italian colleagues, I watched the video with a shade of envy: in our system things like the event showed in the third video are very difficult to organize unless your school is in a deeply disadvantaged area.  our parents are practically impossible to be involved, beside they are from a different country and culture. during the years I noticed that italian parents are less interested in their children school life than the foreigner do. that's because for who is coming from abroad the school still represent a way of integration and rescue from a well worst social position... I don't know how we could get back to Montessori's students educating their families bringing back home what they have learnt at school...

# data[].attributes.body
Completely agree. We should not communicate to parents only when there are problems with the child, or to ask for support in working from home. You have to create positive moments. One of the activities might be to invite them to talk about their profession, to have a meal with the students, to participate in the preparation of a school party, or a study visit ...

# data[].attributes.body
The idea is very interesting, it's worth a try. I think that individually parents can also work with children at home with their children to work on projects, explore different sources, help with the selection of photos, making posters or presentations. It's important that we give them support.

Involving parents is a great idea. It is a difficult task but well worthed.

I agree with the ideas and the examples shared. I think teachers are important to bring the joy of learning into families. We can promote end-of-year competitions on vocabulary, verbal conjugation or knowledge involving the parents and the students in preparation for the competition.
Pairs of parents and students would compete with other pairs. It could be interesting and fun.

In my oppinion, the Reading night organized at school is a briliant ideas. I think about organizing an activity together with parents and students about protecting the environment.

The shared experiences seem to me very dignified and capable of involving and facilitating the learning both of the students and of their parents. They may require additional time for the planning and implementation of the various activities. Besides all that has been said, I add that the sharing of the children in the work places of the parents can contribute to the learning of the school, the motivation of new learning by doing and allow the relationship between parents and children.

I agree with the examples shared. It would be perfect to create a team in order to share knowledge and skills mutually.

I agree with Eszter and Maria. There are some school contents that parents already know but are taught differently and with different strategies. Engaging parents in doing a project whose theme is known and where they can help their children is a good way of parents knowing about what their children are studying, what they learning and how they are getting into it.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with the ideas about the importance of bringing the joy of learning back to parents. Parents always inspire, encourage, support and guide their children. However, in my classes with children ages of 17 and 18 years old, I believe that it's a bit difficult for children to accept that role from their parents. Children feel more independent having to work alone. The only they need is parents' support to their effort.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with Eszter and Maria totally. For good outcomes we have to work all together: teachers and students engage parents in school activities; parents give support to their children. I have already invited my students`parents to participate in a class where their children read and explained the message sent to them by their penfriends from Finland. It was amazing and very positive.

Bringing the joy of learning back into homes is a very worthy endeavour. I fully support it. Parents and students working together on a project is very worthwhile. Students take on the role of leader and motivator towards their parents.
I will be encouraging my EAL students to prepare their presentations for International Language & Culture Day( in November) with their parents. The parents will have great riches and memories to share about their home countries and cultures and this could be harnessed and then shared with the whole school community.

I agree with Eszter and Maria. Parents must stimulate and encourage learning, they must be  an example to their children.   To bring the joy of learning into families, teachers must caal parents at school, made them to partiicpate in many activities as possible.  But children must "teach" parents to participate in activities with them at home, they must tell their parents "participate, join with me in this activity, talk with me and smile with me"

If we want to achieve positive outcomes, building a relationship with families that is seen as a partnership can be full of possibilities. It helps build trust and it enables parents to see what skills their children are developing and what we, as educators, actually do with them.

The ideas presented are really interesting. Projects such as “one book one community” or “family literacy night” are true examples of the possibility of bringing parents back to school and have them contribute to get involved in school work.

# data[].attributes.body
I like very much the example shared by Eszter. The parents’ encouragement at home is very helpful to the learning of their children, especially when it comes to low-educated parents. Those parents might have had negative experiences from their own schooling, and these negative experiences do not help them to encourage their own children’s learning.

The organization of a meeting with parents (guided by a psychologist / social worker), where parents should realize the worth of their children’s encouragement despite their own (possible) negative experiences of their own schooling, is a excellent idea.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, the methods used by Eszter and Maria are good.
Usually, being younger, the children I coordinate take the initiative in the family. They go home and say: Mommy said the lady like I was planting a tree: why? and thus automatically involves them in the activity. It happens often.

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with them. The family is an important role model. When adults and children do things together, children learn interaction skills and develop a positive

attitude towards others. By encouraging children to try things and experience shared joy of success they

learn to form a positive self-image.

Todos os pais querem que os seus filhos não se metam em sarilhos, tenham sucesso escolar e uma vida cheia de alegrias. Não há uma receita certa, mas várias investigações têm vindo a apontar alguns caminhos e fatores que não determinam mas podem influenciar ou prever o sucesso futuro. Aqui ficam 9 coisas que pais de miúdos bem sucedidos têm em comum:
1 - Põem os miúdos a fazer tarefas
Pode não ser fácil e gerar alguma tensão familiar mas pôr as crianças a fazer algumas tarefas domésticas só lhes faz bem, além de ser uma ajudinha extra para os pais. Julie Lythcott-Haims, da Universidade de Stanford e autora do livro " Como criar um adulto", disse numa Ted Talk: "Se os miúdos não estão a tratar da sua louça é porque alguém o está a fazer por eles. E estão a ser absolvidos não apenas do trabalho, mas também de aprenderem que o trabalho tem de ser feito e que cada pessoa deve contribuir para melhorar o que é de todos".
Segundo a autora, as crianças que cumprem tarefas em casa tornam-se profissionais que colaboram mais com os colegas, criam mais empatia porque reconhecem o esforço necessário e são capazes de desenvolver tarefas de forma independente.
As bases desta teoria são do "Harvard Grant Study", o mais vasto estudo longitudinal dos Estado Unidos sobre o desenvolvimento de pessoas adultas
Ao Tech Insider, Julie Lythcott-Haims explica: "Ao pô-los a fazer tarefas - pôr o lixo na rua, tratar das suas roupas - fazemos com que se apercebam de que têm de trabalhar. Devem saber que as suas vidas não se centram só neles e que pertencem a um ecossistema, a uma família ou a um local de trabalho partilhados".
2 - Mantêm as expectativas altas
Um estudo conduzido pela Universidade da Califórnia, envolvendo 6600 crianças nascidas nos Estados Unidos em 2001 veio descobrir que as expectativas que os pais têm para os seus filhos têm um efeito considerável nas suas realizações futuras: 57% das crianças que tiveram menos sucesso tinham pais que esperassem que chegassem ao ensino superior. Mas 96% das crianças que foram bem sucedidas tiveram pais que ambicionavam que chegassem e concluíssem o ensino superior.
3 - Ensinam-lhes capacidades sociais
A simpatia e abertura para fazer amigos podem ser fundamentais para definir o sucesso dos seus filhos. Dois grupos de investigadores - da Universidade da Pensilvânia e da Universidade Duke na Carolina do Norte - avaliaram mais de 700 crianças de vários estados americanos durante o período em que frequentaram o jardim-de-infância e até aos 25 anos. O que descobriram foi uma correlação muito forte entre as capacidades sociais reveladas e praticadas no jardim-de-infância e o seu sucesso enquanto adultos duas décadas depois.
Segundo as conclusões do estudo, as crianças com mais competências sociais - que cooperam e ajudam os colegas e que parecem ter facilidade em compreender os seus sentimentos - têm uma maior probabilidade de conseguir um diploma universitário e ter um trabalho a tempo inteiro aos 25 anos do que aqueles que revelavam poucas capacidades sociais no jardim-de-infância. Os miúdos com mais limitações ao nível das capacidades sociais também revelaram uma maior probabilidade serem presos, terem problemas com álcool e de se candidatarem a habitações sociais
O que o estudo mostra é que " ajudar as crianças a desenvolver capacidades sociais e emocionais é uma das coisas mais importantes que podemos fazer para os preparar para um futuro saudável", diz Kristin Schubert, Diretora da publicação Robert Wood Johnson Foundation que reuniu os resultados deste estudo.
4 - Têm relações saudáveis com os filhos e parceiros
Os pais podem estar separados ou juntos mas o que importa, em nome do sucesso dos mais novos, é que mantenham relações saudáveis e positivas com eles e entre si. De acordo com um estudo da Universidade de Illinois, as crianças que vivem em ambientes de conflito, tendem a ter um futuro mais instável do que as outras.
O professor e autor do estudo, Robert Hughes, acrescenta ainda que há crianças com famílias monoparentais saudáveis que reportam muito mais sucesso no futuro do que as que têm os pais juntos mas problemas de conflito permanente entre ambos. Um ambiente calmo, de respeito e compreensão é sempre propicio a um desenvolvimento de sucesso.
Os problemas de adaptação da relação dos pais no pós-divórcio, que por vezes vem acompanhado de alguma tensão, também têm consequências negativas para as crianças, diz Robert Hughes.
Um outro estudo veio concluir que o ideal será um contacto frequente entre as crianças e os pais sem a custódia, em vez da luta ou discussão pela custódia e visitas surpresa ou esporádicas. Ter cuidado com este tipo de postura facilita a adaptação das crianças ao divórcio e, depois, à vida futura.
5 - Têm um nível educacional mais elevado
As expectativas pessoais são, muitas vezes, o reflexo das expectativas e ambições dos pais. Um estudo de 2014 da psicóloga Sandra Tang, da Universidade de Michigan, veio afirmar que as mães que acabam o secundário e a faculdade têm mais probabilidade de vir a criar filhos que sigam o mesmo caminho.
O estudo teve a participação de 14 mil crianças a frequentarem o jardim de infância entre 1998 e 2007 e concluiu que os filhos de mães adolescentes (de 18 anos ou mais novas) têm menor probabilidade de concluir os estudos secundários e superiores.
Ou seja, as aspirações educacionais dos pais têm influência sobre as aspirações dos filhos. Num estudo longitudinal feito em 2009 por pelo psicólogo Eric Dubow e que incluiu os testemunhos de 856 pessoas de zonas rurais veio descobrir-se que "o nível educacional dos pais quando as crianças têm 8 anos faz prever de forma significativa o seu sucesso educacional e profissional nos 40 anos de vida seguintes".
6 - São pais menos stressados
De acordo com uma pesquisa recente, citada pelo Washington Post, o número de horas que as mães passam com os seus filhos - entre os 3 e os 11 anos - tem pouco impacto no futuro comportamento, bem-estar e sucesso dos miúdos. O que verdadeiramente pesa é a qualidade e calma dos momentos que partilham.
"O stress das mães, especialmente causado por problemas profissionais ou precisamente por não terem tempo para estar com os filhos, pode afetá-los de forma negativa", diz Kei Nomaguchi, um dos autores desta pesquisa.
Chama-se contágio emocional e é o fenómeno psicológico pelo qual as pessoas "apanham" os sentimentos (mais ou menos como quem apanha um vírus ou uma constipação) e ajuda a explicar estes resultados. Da mesma forma que tendemos a partilhar os mesmos sentimentos com os nossos amigos quando estão felizes ou tristes, quando os apais estão exaustos, frustrados e em stresse, esse estado emocional pode ser transferido para os filhos
7 - Ensinam matemática aos filhos desde cedo
Em nome do sucesso dos seus filhos, não os poupe das contas
Uma análise feita em 2007 a 35 000 crianças americanas, canadianas e inglesas a frequentar o ensino pré-escolar revelou que o desenvolvimento de capacidades matemáticas pode ser altamente vantajoso para o seu futuro
"A importância primordial das capacidades matemáticas desde cedo - concretamente de começar a escola com conhecimentos dos números, da ordem dos números e outros conceitos matemáticos simples - é uma das principais conclusões do nosso estudo", disse o coautor Greg Duncan num comunicado de imprensa sobre o tema.
"A mestria da matemática desde cedo faz prever não apenas as capacidades matemáticas, faz também prever as futuras capacidades de leitura", acrescentou Greg Duncan.
8 - Valorizam os esforços dos seus filhos
É importante que as crianças entendam de onde vem o sucesso: do esforço e do trabalho mais do que do talento. Há já várias décadas que a psicóloga Carol Dweck, da Universidade de Stanford, tem vido a descobrir as formas como crianças (e adultos) pensam acerca do sucesso. As pesquisas e conclusões estão sintetizadas no livro "Mindset: The New Psychology of Success" e destacam-se duas formas fundamentais de pensar o sucesso:
1) Uma abordagem fixa que assume que o nosso caráter, inteligência e capacidade criativa não mudam de forma significativa, e que o sucesso é a afirmação da inteligência natural de cada um. Lutar pelo sucesso ou tentar evitar o insucesso a qualquer custo é uma forma de manter os níveis e expectativas de cada um.
2) Uma abordagem em crescimento que pressupõe o desafio e a superação. Quem a tem vê as falhas como uma forma de melhorar, evoluir e falhar menos.
A diferença entre estas duas abordagens pode estar na educação. Se os pais reagem aos sucessos dos filhos, como as boas notas, com base na sua inteligência, vão implantar neles uma abordagem fixa relativamente ao sucesso. Se, pelo contrário, os pais estimulam nos filhos a ideia de que os seus sucessos são baseados no esforço vão impulsionar o desenvolvimento de uma abordagem em crescimento.
9 - As mães trabalham
Mais do que uma tendência em crescimento, as mulheres e mães trabalhadoras são uma banalidade dos dias de hoje. E isso parece ser positivo para o sucesso das crianças.
De acordo com uma pesquisa de Harvard há benefícios significativos no facto de as crianças crescerem com mães que trabalham. Este estudo descobriu que as filhas de mães que trabalham fora de casa estudam até mais tarde e têm maior probabilidade - mais 23% do que as filhas de mães que trabalham em casa - de vir a ter um cargo profissional de supervisão e a ganhar mais dinheiro.
No caso dos filhos (rapazes) de mães que trabalham fora de casa, o estudo também revelou que tendem a realizar mais tarefas domésticas e tarefas relacionadas com os filhos - passam mais 7h30 a tratar da casa e mais 25 minutos por semana a tratar dos filhos do que os filhos de mães que não têm empregos fora.

I totally agree with Eszter and Maria. It’s very important to try to bring fun into the learning process in the families. They refer to activities as the “Family Literacy nights” or the project “one book, one community”, or the “maths problem”, that all activities that Maria and Eszter refer as way how students can bring learning into families, while the teacher is a facilitator of such process. This would allow to do family projects where parents get involved and understand the importance of becoming a lifelong learner. Other ways of doing this is create “family reading nights”. Parents go to and read with their children as well as speak with teachers about reading. Another way is organizing an after-school homework club, where many children are left those hours following the end of the school day, where parents with free time, or after work can go to help kids doing homework.

As part of my action plan I am encouraging parents to take part in family homework. We have had some back so are using these as a means of encouraging others to participate.

I believe that, as children grow, their parents’ role in their learning changes, but one thing remains constant: parents are children’s learning models. Their attitudes about education can inspire them and show them how to take charge of their own educational journey.

Especially in the early years, parents are their children’s first educators — exploring nature, reading together, cooking together, and counting together. When a young child begins formal school, the parent’s job is to show him/her how school can extend the learning they began together at home, and how exciting and meaningful this learning can be. As preschoolers grow into school age kids, parents become their children’s learning supporters. Through guidance and reminders, parents help their kids organize their time and support their desires to learn new things in and out of school.

Many of my parents struggle with the new concepts that are being taught in maths now so I send the children home with examples that they can work through with parents. These have proved to be successful and the effort that I have put in to support parental understanding has been gratefully received.
