Delighted to hit 1000 responses on my PhD survey. Please keep sharing with your teacher friends - The more responses I get, the more detailed analysis I can do in relation to understanding teachers' parental engagement knowledge, skills, attitudes and training needs! 👩‍🏫📊

It's been a pleasure to spend the last 3 months working as a Research Fellow at the Parliamentary Office for Science and Technology POST (UK Parliament). My first policy briefing "Prison population growth: drivers, implications and policy considerations" is now available to read ➡️

Couldn't agree more with this from Lee Elliot Major's latest book: "It should be a priority to develop strong partnerships with parents. It’s madness that teachers are not trained in how to work with parents.” Hoping to be part of the solution with the National Teacher Parental Engagement Survey!

My PhD survey will be closing in TEN days! Please give it one last share with your teacher contacts - thank you! 👩‍🏫📊👩‍🎓
