He advised that the workshop would be facilitated by G Bremner, Education Officer (Early Years and Primary). 1a. APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies for absence were intimated on behalf of Councillor McGinnigle and Parent Council representatives as detailed above. 2. PARENTAL ENGAGEMENT G. Bremner, Education Officer, (Early Years and Primary) and Anne Dalziel, Quality Improvement Officer, provided members of the Forum with a presentation on the Parental Partnerships from Involvement to Engagement. This meeting invited Head Teachers and Chairs of Parent Council together to discuss partnership and engagement in school improvement. The presentation provided information on the following:- Parental Engagement - Consultation Process, which detailed the main points of the Parental Engagement Strategy including, expectations for involving parents, the role of Parent Councils and Parent Forum, Learning at Home and National policy. Key areas included establishing practices and procedures for effective and clear communication. Removal of barriers to engagement and enabling parents to support their child’s learning where discussed. Focus for this was to ensure that the Parental Engagement Action Plan was delivered to Schools in order to support them in achieving effective parental engagement. What we have done – Produced an Action Plan for Schools and Early Years establishments; and an audit against the National Action Plan for parental engagement, family learning and learning at home 2018-2021 ‘Learning together’. The Audit showed that the key areas chosen for focus matched the majority of the goals specified with the ‘Learning Together’ document. The PCF noted that the Parental Strategy had been created after consultation with the Parent Council Forum, Parent Council representation and school representation. National Policy had been used to guide the Strategy and the Working Group agreed that the main areas for focus would be:- Scottish Schools Involvement Action 2016 and Review 2017; Communication – clear and effective; Removal of potential barriers to engagement; and Enabling parents to support their children’s learning The Strategy laid out roles for all, the Parent Council and Forum was clear on what the expectations from the Education Service and the Schools were which was to achieve the highest standards of attainment/achievement for all in East Dunbartonshire Education establishments. Furthermore, the Strategy stipulated what the Education Service would do to ensure effective parental engagement and what the schools should do. It also emphasised the importance of Page 2 SPECIAL PARENT COUNCIL FORUM 17 SEPTEMBER 2018 homework and learning at home which are different definitions, as one was set by school the other learning that takes place with family and in the wider community. It was also noted that the Education Service had broken the Strategy down into specific actions and produced an Action Plan to give specific guidance to schools to support them to implement parental engagement. In the audit against the ‘Learning Together’ paper it was clear that the Education Service were meeting its goals set out within the document for the three main areas chosen, examples of which were:- The ‘Learning Together’ document set various goals Goal A: Strengthen parental representation in the life and work of early years and childcare settings and school Schools have been advised to create flexible ways of collecting parental views e.g. Glow forms and school consultation processes. Goal B: Collaboration, expand opportunities for all parents to collaborate at every level of the education service. Goal C: Communication – improve communication with parents and families. Schools have been advised to have parents work in a collaborative group i.e., reporting, school improvement and transition and innovative ways to involve parents in their child’s learning. Goal D: Information Technology (IT) Schools have been advised to use electronic communications and regularly update website. At the conclusion of the presentation, Forum members were invited to break into groups to discuss and collate evidence of good practice within your schools, namely: Key steps at local authority level: • Ensure that parental involvement and engagement strategies are up to date and accessible to parents; • Involve parents in the development of strategies; • Feedback to parents on progress with parental involvement and engagement strategies; • Provide and share expertise on parental involvement and engagement; • Consider available data on deprivation, employment, community resources as part of parental involvement and engagement strategies. Share that data with schools, early learning and childcare providers Key steps – practitioners, managers, families: • Collaborate with parents and families in the development of improvement plans, the investment of Pupil Equity Funding and other key activities; • Fully integrate parental involvement and engagement activities into broader improvement plan activity; • Ensure two-way communication as part of the improvement planning process; Page 3 SPECIAL PARENT COUNCIL FORUM 17 SEPTEMBER 2018 • Make sure parents are involved in early learning, childcare and school improvement, and consider parental involvement and parental engagement in their
