The Future of Education. Your Role as a Parent.
Parents Have the Ability to Positively Shape the Future of Education
In recent years, parents have started to lose faith in the educational system. According to statistics, about two-thirds of all of the parents are losing confidence in the system. Then, there are about 62% that are not currently aware of the changes that are occurring within the system; however, if you are reading this, chances are, you are aware of these changes and have found yourself wondering how you can positively shape the future of education. It is a known fact that it “takes a village” to raise and educate a child.
Not only must YOU provide your child with support, but, it is imperative that you reach out to others to help support your child – especially in terms of academics. By taking this step, you will be able to help your child with their studies and help them master the skills that they need to succeed in school.
In this brief guide, you will learn the steps that you may take to positively shape the future of education – especially as it relates to your child.
Parental Involvement
Statistics tell us that – on average – a child spends just under 15% of their time in school. Based on this fact, it is imperative that parents take many measures to aid in their child’s academic success. One of the first and most important steps that you may take is to be involved.
This means that you should be proactive in learning about what your child is learning in school, review those concepts at home, make certain that homework is getting done and that you are checking the homework, attending meetings at your child’s school, and providing your child with a multitude of educational opportunities. Studies indicate that parental involvement is the most powerful influence when it comes to the academic performance of a child.
Obtaining Additional Support
The next step that parents may take to positively shape the future of education is to obtain additional support for their child. Examples of additional support include connecting with educational coaches, tutors, and even getting involved in extracurricular activities such as academic camps.
In addition to improving a child’s understanding of important academic skills and concepts, these educational professionals develop partnerships with you, your child, and your child’s school to ensure that your child is on task and comprehending all of the skills and concepts that are required for their academic advancement. When school just is not enough, additional support is necessary.
