Foundations for Success Launches Back-To-School Series for Parents

Foundations for Success, an online high school that fosters student centred digital classrooms, is launching an 11 part back-to-school live series for parents.

 

This set of value packed sessions will provide information on what they need to know for this upcoming school year, offer actionable strategies to help their kids with virtual learning, and provide free resources on how to get there. This back-to-school series will run from August 13 – August 28.

 

It is important for students to have high-quality learning experiences, both in person and online. But it is not that simple. Jeffrey Man, Program Director at Foundations for Success, says that “while virtual learning facilitates student achievement through increased one-on-one attention and focus on personalized learning goals, we need to provide successful digital classrooms and safe spaces for student learning”.

 

Parents are an integral part of student success, especially when their kids are in high school. Parent guidance, advice and support gives students the psychological safety to explore their academic, professional and personal interests. While it may seem like teenagers are reluctant to listen to their parents, it is important to remember that they value family support for important issues in their lives.

 

The kickoff session for the back-to-school live series will be on August 13 at 4:00 p.m. EST. All sessions will be hosted on the school’s Facebook page, which can be accessed using this link.

 

Some of the topics covered during the parent series will be:

  • implications of school reopening plans, and what this means for high school planning
  • technology and logistical issues related to virtual learning
  • a 5 part framework for parents to evaluate the quality of their child's learning experience
  • strategies for parents to engage with teachers to help their children succeed
  • how parents can help their kids be productive and manage digital distraction
  • how parents can work with their children to develop literacy skills that are essential for student achievement

 

In order to get a reminder for when Foundations for Success goes live, sign up through the school’s Facebook page.
