Presentation by Andreas Schleicher Tackling the School Absenteeism Crisis 30 ...
What can you do to help your students
1. What can you do to help your
students succeed?
By: Stephanie Allen
2. Work with your children's
teachers. Talk to every teacher
your student has and see what
the expectations are, what
tests will be taken, and if there
is anything you can do at
home to help them get through
this year and get ready for the
next year!!!
3. Make a certain time of the day
be homework time where the
children can ONLY do school
work. No TV, no cell phones,
etc. Make sure that they know
you are there to help them with
anything they need help with.
Let them know they can ask
you anything.
4. Make sure you keep open
communication with them at all
times. Talking to your children
about anything, whether it is
embarrassing, uncomfortable,
or not, shows them that you
are there for them. It shows
them that you will listen to
them in their time of need.
5. When parents get involved in their childrens
education their children “get better grades
and test scores, graduate from high school
at higher rates, are more likely to go on to
higher education, are better behaved and
have more positive attitudes” (ed.gov).
Thank you for taking the time to enjoy this
