Strong advocacy skills are critical as you work to ensure your child benefits from their education. In this workshop, parents will learn practical steps to effectively advocate for their child’s needs.
As an equal partner in your child’s education, it is important to clearly communicate your views and concerns with the school team and other school personnel. This session explores communication styles, listening skills, organization strategies, and useful tools and resources to help keep communication between home and school on the right track.
Remember — you are an equal partner in your child’s education.
This training will cover:
• What an advocate is and why advocacy matters
• Six essential advocacy skills
• Tips for effective communication in meetings and in writing (emails and letters)
• What to do when you disagree with the school team
