#parentalengagement Representation matters. We know this about young people in books - but it matters to families as well. Look around at any representations of parents - are they all young (but not too young) white mums? There are other family members. Make sure they see themselves in your school

#parentalengagement Never underestimate the value of a bit of good news - especially for families that don't often get good, or indeed, any news at all. Teachers spend time and effort creating good working relationships with young people - they have the skills to do this with parents as well.

#parentalengagement It's worth noting that having more than one language increases one's concepts of the world as there are things one can say in one language that just don't translate to others. Many of us in education have only one or two languages - many parents have more.

#parentalengagement Please realise that for some of your parents, school may well be a locus of shame, of failure, of disappointment... Walking into such a place takes enormous courage - and many may well choose not to do so. This does NOT mean that they don't care about their children's learning.

#parentalengagement tip... Be clear about what you are aiming at. Teachers are trained to create clear aims and objectives - apply those skills to work with families. And make sure the aim has to do with *learning* above all - not getting parents in, but learning.

#parentalengagement Watch your language. 'Parents and professionals'? A lot of parents *are* professionals. (Look to the work of Horby and Lafaele among many others). 'Parents and educators'? What do you think parents have been doing since day one? It may not be meant to devalue, but it does.
