Follow-up and evaluations

After an internal evaluation of each parent-to-parent course a follow-up meeting is held between the FES , the parent leaders who facilitated the course and the school administration in order to

(i) inform the school about the outcome of this parent -in-education initiative;

(ii) seek ways how the school can follow up the parents' educational needs and concerns expressed throughout the parent-to-parent course; and

(iii) discuss the outcomes from the course and what the school can do to meet the educational needs of the parents in the future.

Results are showing that 80% of the schools where such services were given, the school took further initiatives in the area of parental involvement such as requesting parent-to-parent meetings, parent-parent courses and seven schools requested a professional development training session for their teaching staff specifically on ‘Working with Parents and Parental involvement in education'.

Voices

“On behalf of the school Council may I express my appreciation for the excellent Id f'Id Programme (Parent-to-Parent Course) recently carried out at this school”
Head of School

“Kelli opportunita' li niddiskuti ma' genituri li ghandhom it-tfal taghhom fi klassijiet differenti minn tat-tifel tieghi. B'hekk tghallimt mill-ideat taghhom ukoll ”

“Nahseb li meta l-genituri jaraw lilna l-Animaturi ippreparati, ikun ta' inkoraggiment kbir ghalihom. Barra li turi serjeta` u professjonalizmu, li tkun ippreparat tajjeb huwa wkoll sors ta' motivazzjoni u entuzjazmu ghal haddiehor”
Id f'Id Animator

“Minn din l-esperjenza ghogobni l-aktar li kelli cans nisma' l-esperjenzi ta' haddiehor (genituri u ghalliema) u niehu ideat dwar kif nohloq rizorsi li jkunu adattati u jappellaw ghat-tfal tieghi. It-tfal, minkejja li mill-istess familja ghandhom modi differenti dwar kif jitghallmu”

Parent – Course on ‘How parents can instil the love of reading in their children' February – March 2004

“ Minn dan il-kors stajt nifhem b'mod prattiku kif nista' nghin lil uliedi waqt il-matematika minkejja li l-iskola introduciet metodu gdid minghajr ma gejna ippreparati ahna l-genituri”
Genitur – Kors dwar ‘kif il-genituri jistghu jghinu lil uliedhom fil-Matematika' Frar-Marzu 2005

“Id-diskussjonijiet mal-genituri fi gruppi zghar kienu success…jien aktar tghallimt mill-genituri li ppartecipaw. Kien ta' sodisfazzjon kbir ghalija li stajt inkun ta' ghajnuna ghal genituri ohrajn. Il-partecipazzjoni u l-entuzjazmu kien jidher fuq wicc kulhadd”
Genitur Mexxej – Kors dwar ‘kif il-genituri jistghu jghinu lil uliedhom jispellu u jaqraw' Novembru – Dicembru 2003

Genitur - Kors dwar ‘kif il-genituri jistghu jghinu lil uliedhom iqassmu ahjar il-hin ta' l-istudji taghhom' Novembru – Dicembru 2003

“I enjoyed the discussions on how to help our children with their homework. I need to invest a little more time with my son during his homework”
Parent – Course on ‘How parents can help their children with heir homework' April – May 2004

“Din l-esperjenza ghallmitni li qatt mhu tard fil-hajja biex titghallem. Li tisma' genituri bhalek jirrakkuntaw x'jaghmlu huma ma wliedhom jimlieni bil-kuragg halli jien stess inkompli nistudja!”
Genitur Mexxej - Kors dwar ‘kif il-genituri jistghu jghinu lil uliedhom iqassmu ahjar il-hin ta' l-istudji taghhom' Novembru – Dicembru 2003

“Laqatni hafna meta irrealizzajt li l-mod ta' kif nagixxi mat-tfal fid-dar jista' jtellifhom jew ighinhom fl-istima tajba taghhom infushom. Issa naf li tfal bi stima tajba taghhom infushom ghandhom cans imorru ahjar fl-iskola”
Genitur - Kors dwar ‘kif il-genituri jistghu jghinu lil uliedhom ikollhom stima tajba taghhom infushom biex ihossuhom komdi fil-hajja skolastika' Frar – Marzu 2004

Genitur Mexxej - Kors dwar ‘kif il-genituri jistghu jinvolvu ruhhom aktar fl-edukazzjoni ta' uliedhom' Novembru – Dicembru 2003

“Huwa importanti li nohloq ambjent u klima informali biex kemm jista' jkun il-genituri jhossuhom parti integrali minn dan il-kors, biex ma jiddejqux u ma jisthux jippartecipaw jghidu l-opinjonijiet taghhom u b'hekk ihossuhom partecipanti attivi”
Id f'Id Animator

“Jien ippartecipajt ukoll… minn dak li rajt hassejt sens ta' ferh u sodisfazzjon. Hasejtni hekk, ghax f'xoghli bhala ghalliema fi skola sekondarja, rari hafna biex ikolli dan it-tip ta' kuntatt ma' genituri”
