Hosted on August 14, 2024, the training was delivered by Madina Masumi, a Switchboard Training Officer with a focus on youth and education.
Strong partnerships between families and schools provide vital support networks leading to improved educational outcomes, enhanced social and emotional well-being, and strengthened family resilience. Families who are involved in their child’s education better understand cultural norms, which eases the integration process for newcomers. This webinar will focus on a framework model, highlighting best practices and effective strategies, for schools and educational settings building relationships with newcomer students and their families.
By the end of this webinar, you will be able to:
– Explain how the Dual Capacity Building Framework supports the development of family engagement strategies, policies, and programs in school communities
– Describe culturally responsive engagement strategies to enhance family involvement for working with newcomer students and their families
– Apply practical tools and techniques to establish and maintain effective partnerships between schools and refugee families
