Beyond Advocacy: Building Stronger Learning Communities Through Authentic Parent Engagement
As student learning changes in the province, so too will the traditional relationship between parents and the school.

What might this look like and feel like for parents as we move down the road towards a new conception of learning expressed in the BC Education Plan?

Get More From Meetings - The Surprising Steps to Collaboration
Families whose children have mental health challenges often go to a lot of meetings about their children and these meetings are a vital link to receiving much needed support. We believe the keys to these meetings are collaboration and the emotional work that supports it. This session will give you steps to feel more supported throughout the process so you come away from meetings feeling heard and respected. The result will be more cooperation and clear plans for moving forward.

Start With Strengths: change the lens, change the story
Too many of our students leave our schools with less confidence than when they arrive. Struggling students and their families are often made aware of the deficits while silenced of the strengths. Chris will share real stories of the positive impact of a focus on the strengths of our children. When we start with the strengths and positives of our students, we look through a different lens and work to create the conditions for real success, increased self-confidence, and a changed story of life at school.
