About this event

Online event

Parents, carers, and teachers play a crucial role in shaping learners’ educational journeys, and effective engagement with these influencers should be a core part of your institution’s outreach and recruitment strategy.

As educational professionals we know that learners are influenced by both their parents and their teachers. The advice they potentially receive from them can be, at best, based on out-of-date information or, at worst, inaccurate. Engagement with these two groups is therefore key to ensuring that learners get the right advice and get the correct information that they need to navigate their higher education journeys.

Influencing the Influencers will examine these challenges and equip you with the knowledge and strategies to effectively influence these key stakeholders.

This capacity building event will cover essential topics including:

  • How an individual’s own educational experience may impact upon the information, advice and guidance they provide;
  • The challenges in effectively engaging parents, carers, and teachers in meaningful activities;
  • The evidence-backed strategies for parental and teacher engagement;
  • How to devise initiatives for your own organisation.

By the end of the one-day course, you will be able to:

  • Enhance your knowledge and understanding of parent and teacher engagement
  • Devise a series of activities to be delivered within your own organisation
  • Use new insights to inform your institution’s outreach and recruitment strategies

Places are limited. Book early to secure your place.
