 “very interesting and thought provoking and the information was delivered very clearly and concisely”

Northern Grid delivered an in school support session on Parental Engagement to the staff of Ash Trees School in January 2012.

The focus of the session was how technology can be used to support effective parental engagement.

The aims of the 1 hour session were to:

• recognise the importance of parental engagement
• identify how technology can be used to improve parental engagement
• start the process of planning how to develop your school’s approach to parental engagement.

The session included:

• A review of the current literature and research
• Parental Engagement and the Ofsted Evaluation Schedule and the Ofsted Schools and Parents report
• Becta resources
• Technology and how it can be used

Glenn Atkinson, ICT coordinator at Ash Trees provided the following feedback:

“the staff and myself found your input very interesting and thought provoking and the information was delivered very clearly and concisely. I know you had condensed your usual delivery to meet the limited time available for our staff meeting but I do feel you imparted lots of useful information without the feeling of being bombarded with too much.”
