The TIEL Institute offers workshops for parents. As parents, we have little preparation for the important role of supporting our children in their education. The purpose of a TIEL Parent Workshop is to help parents become effective advocates for their children’s education. The TIEL Institute prepares parents with a knowledge of schools, teaching, and learning that helps them connect more effectively with their child’s education. When parents understand the learning needs of their child, they can advocate for the education they need. When parents understand the kind of education needed in today’s education, they can advocate for more complex learning opportunities in their child’s school.
Parent workshops can be structured around the needs of a specific group. Parents will learn to:
Understand intellectual and emotional aspects of learning
Discuss your child’s educational needs with his or her teacher
Discuss curriculum
Ask questions of teachers and administrators that gain important information about learning and teaching
Set criteria that assists you in choosing a school for your child
