About the project

Parent’r’us main aim is to support teachers increasing parents engagement in children's academic achievement and well-being at school by extending their competences throughout an innovative mentoring model approach integrated in a holistic approach.
To pursue this aim the focus is to create a methodology in which the innovative element is the mentoring approach to support capacity building to create the holistic approach. The different stakeholders will be involved in creating the new mentoring model to reduce ESL and increase academic achievement, training trainers and piloting the model with parents, teachers, school leaders (& other school staff), trainers & key-community members (as mentors)

​​​Project will also focus in building children well being and bonds to school: children who have close relationships with their parents & feel that they provide them with emotional support have better academic performance, fewer suspensions, & higher levels of social competence than do students without close parental relationships. 
Additionally, the continuity of children’s experience across environments is greatly enhanced when parents & staff members exchange information regularly & adopt consistent approaches to socialisation, daily routines, child development & learning.
OBJECTIVES
  • develop innovative & multidisciplinary approaches to empower parental engagement building on lessons learnt from MOMIE & MEGAN projects in the field of mentoring & the Includ-ED, FamilyEduNet & ELICIT+ projects in the field of parental engagement, student participation & their active citizenship aspects
  • identify the suitable profile & competences needed to support or perform mentoring programs within schools, parent associations &/or local associations
  • design a mentoring model to improve parental skills, namely with parents less or not engaged in their children’s schooling life
  • design a mentoring model to improve teachers’ competences in parents engagement & empowerment on their children’s schooling life
  • deliver a Parenthood Mentoring Awareness Toolkit to parents, schools, supervisory/financing organisation of the school & community organisations

  • to have parents fully engaged in activities towards their own social inclusion, having the main role on the process;​​
  • ​​a closer dialogue and sharing of experiences between, on the one hand, parents with fewer opportunities and on the other, teachers and community organisations;
  • the creation of a pipeline between parents and school staff for exchange of information regularly and adopt consistent approaches
  • the creation of an environment for children's academic achievement and well-being at school
  • ongoing improvement of educators’ transversal capacities and competencies;
