Congratulations to C4IE members Dr Glenys Mann, Professor Linda Gilmore, doctoral candidates Lynsey Kennedy-Wood and Lara Maia-Pike, and colleague Ainsley Robertson for their work being featured in the latest Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership Limited (AITSL) Spotlight: Strengthening Parenting Engagement to Improve Student Outcomes. Their paper, titled “Little Things Mean a Lot: Parent Perspectives on Positive Teacher-Parent Communication When Students Have Disability”, highlights the importance of genuine, two-way, respectful communication in building trusting and beneficial relationships. The Spotlight edition draws on their publication to emphasise the value of actively listening to parents and fostering a collaborative relationship through inclusive language (e.g., “What are we going to do about this?”, “What do you think?”), while also highlighting the power of simple and brief conversations (for example, during drop-off) to enhance engagement with parents.
