La voix des enseignants, épisode 10

Rejoignez un chercheur en éducation Nina Alonso pour ça série podcast Elle y partage des témoignages poignants d'enseignants du monde entier, qui racontent leurs expériences avec leurs propres mots. 

One key aspect of children’s lives mentioned by many of the teachers featured on this podcast, regardless of who they’re teaching and where they are, is the relevance of parental and family engagement in children’s education.

Their observations mirror the findings of today’s guest Sharon Loup, an applied developmental psychologist interested in how young children’s social environments – specifically their families and schools – shape their development.

« L’implication des parents peut réellement améliorer les résultats scolaires des enfants. Non seulement leur engagement à l’école, mais aussi leurs attitudes et comportements positifs, et leur perception de l’école. »

Nina is also joined by teachers in Lebanon and India, and hears in-depth insights from an impactful parental engagement program in Cajon Valley, California.

Nour Issa works in a kindergarten in Lebanon, supporting the special needs of autistic children.

« Le programme sur lequel je travaille repose beaucoup sur la constance, et sans l'implication des parents, c'est très difficile à mettre en œuvre. On ne peut pas être constant dans son travail si les parents ne sont pas impliqués. »

Janice Raymond is lead of the project Family and Community Engagement (FACE) in Cajon Valley, Southern California.

“Regardless of who you visit, other parents in the apartment buildings see you, other kids see you doing visits. All of a sudden everyone wants a home visit. You affect more than just that one family. The relationship is built in the community just by reaching out and making that first step. It is really quite astonishing how that ripple effect works. You don’t need to visit every single family to have an effect on every single family.”
