Excited to share the project's first peer-reviewed output 📣
Over 1750 teachers helped us identify gaps in their parental engagement knowledge and skills. Teachers need better training and more time for this vital part of their role!

In a survey of almost 1800 teachers, the data around gaps in training on parental engagement is shocking, particularly when we consider how important parental engagement is to outcomes and support. Fascinating research by @MissJonesEd . #BERAWERA2024

Great to hear about @MissJonesEd ‘s research on parental engagement.
It turns out we both trained to teach with @TeachFirst in the same year, at the same university, did the same MA at @Warwick_Edu and are both now in the same year of our PhDs - how serendipitous!
