SLI’s work with parents has both immediate and longer-term benefits for their children, their families, and their schools. Parents, teachers, and principals point to SLI’s role in helping their children to learn better and enabling their schools to improve.
Evidence of SLI’s success in engaging parents:
- Parent feedback measured through the evaluations gathered from every workshop indicate that they value the program highly and are better understanding the important role they play in their children's learning.
- Parent enthusiasm as measured through attendance remains very high.
- Parents are reporting that they are becoming more effective teachers of their children & helping more with schoolwork.
- Teachers report that the children of parents who have attended the workshops are better prepared for learning in the classroom.
"Parents have been helping their children more at home - there's a noticeable difference…This is contributing a lot to our students' increasing achievement."
