About the Workshop

Families play a fundamental role in shaping a child’s growth and development, providing the first learning environment that nurtures their social, emotional, and cognitive skills. Educators build upon this foundation, guiding children’s learning and fostering their overall development in a school setting. When families and educators collaborate as advocates, children experience a seamless transition between home and school, reinforcing stability, confidence, and a shared commitment to their success.

This workshop will explore the importance of advocacy in strengthening family-educator partnerships.
