SUMMARY:Webinar: Working with Parents: Building Stronger Partnerships for Children’s Learning
DESCRIPTION:Working with Parents: Building Stronger Partnerships for Children’s Learning\nHosted by Pen Green Centre & East Midlands Stronger Practice Hub \nAt Pen Green\, working with parents is not a programme—it is our foundation. We believe parents are the first and most enduring educators of their children\, and we position them as co-researchers and co-constructors of learning. Our approach is built on trust\, reciprocity\, and respect\, drawing equally on professional expertise and the deep\, lived knowledge parents have of their children. This developmental partnership not only strengthens the home learning environment but also empowers families\, enhances parental self-efficacy\, and creates the conditions for children to thrive. \nIn this interactive webinar\, you will: \n\nExplore the evidence behind effective parental engagement.\nDiscover the Pen Green model of developmental partnership.\nLearn practical strategies to co-construct learning experiences with families.\nHear real examples of how sustained\, respectful relationships transform children’s outcomes.\n\nAudience: Early years leaders\, practitioners\, and family support professionals. \nJoin us to strengthen your practice\, deepen your partnerships with parents\, and create lasting impact for children and families.
