Parents can support their child's education at home by becoming involved in the school's learning program and communicating regularly with teachers. When parents share information about their child with the school, it allows them to become partners in their child's education. Parental involvement enhances academic performance and benefits both children and parents. Parents gain a better understanding of the curriculum and can encourage their child's self-esteem, motivation, and development by establishing a daily routine that includes encouraging reading, writing, and discussions at home. However, barriers like work demands, negative experiences, cultural differences, and after-school activities can make it difficult for some parents to be involved.

Reaching Beyond the Classroom: Creating Sustainable Learning Opportunities th...Cynthia James
The community outreach in SK Kunak 2, Kunak, Sabah started in 2011 through several meetings and workshops with the parents under the British Council’s English Language Teachers Development Project (ELTDP). Today, it has expanded beyond the project and has transformed into a home-school partnership. The main aim is to create better learning opportunities for the students. This partnership is built through parent-teacher conferences, collaborative projects, home visits and other outreach activities. In this session, we will share our journey – how the partnership started and developed, the challenges that we faced, how it finally transformed into a long-term collaboration and how we plan to keep it going. We will also show how we inspire others with our story by sharing it in conferences, blog and publications. The impact of the partnership on teachers, parents and students is reflected through feedback from the community members, the students’ attitudes towards learning and the school’s academic performance. Throughout this session, we will share our story by showing pictures and videos that would prompt interactive discussions with the participants. Participants will be invited to reflect on the question: “Is going beyond the classroom worth it?”
