What We’re Learning

In April 2018, we brought together national and local experts to discuss best practices for communication between schools/childcare centers and the parents and caregivers of students. We heard from Learning Heroes, a national research organization and parent resource, about how parents feel about their children’s education and about how to talk with parents about their role in students’ learning. 

Five Philadelphia experts discussed their work to promote effective communication between caregivers and schools/childcare centers on a panel moderated by Jenny Bogoni of Read By 4th.
