Gains in learning are most prominent when parents and school staff work together to facilitate a supportive learning environment at both home and school. With this in mind, we have developed a range of resources for both parents and teachers so that we can effectively progress parent-teacher relations in order to foster positive parental engagement that will improve student academic achievement, wellbeing and productivity.

Personalised learning for all – are parents the missing key to closing the gaps?

Details

One in five students will start school behind in learning in Australia this year and the major cause of this is their socioeconomic background.

This article explores the position that personalised learning is for all students.

Delvene Neilson
Delvene NeilsonDirector of Education and mother
Like all parents, I wear many different hats by juggling the numerous roles of a mother, educator, wife, worker, daughter and friend. The list can be endless. Fortunately, my passion for learning and education seems to connect all of these facets of my life. A teacher by trade, I have spent much of my post university life teaching in schools in England, South Australia and Victoria, then venturing into some educational consultancy roles and now finding a unique place in 3P Learning.

It is in my most challenging role as a parent of a 6 year old daughter and 4 year old son, that I am constantly reminded of how amazing learning is. Their curiosity and energy to ask and understand inspires me. It inspires the work that I contribute to at 3P Learning which is all about keeping learning real, exciting and purposeful. My philosophy is that there should be no barrier to learning and I love exploring the endless possibilities. As a parent and educator it matters to me that my kids will always love to learn and I feel fortunate that I can help contribute to foster this in all families in my working role.
