Family Engagement
Development, Empowerment, and Coaching
LEARN Academy® recognizes that parents and guardians are a student’s first teachers and the connection between home and school is a critical one. Our Family Engagement workshops are designed to help parents become more involved in their child’s education and strengthen the connection between home and school. We offer informational workshops and educational programs which invite families to join in fun activities centered making a positive impact on student achievement.
Examples of Family Engagement Workshops:
LEARN’s Family Engagement workshops help strengthen support systems for students who are at-risk of academic failure, by fostering the connection between parents and school administrators/teachers.
