Teacher Family Partnerships
Exciting - New - Innovative - Program
for Teachers and parents
Promoting Child Wellbeing
Children achieve the best outcomes – academically, socially and emotionally – when teachers and parents work together to support child development and wellbeing. However, it’s not always easy to “be on the same page” when it comes to parents/carers and educators’ expectations, approaches and relationships. The comprehensive Teacher Family Partnerships (TFP) Program brings parents/carers and educators together to support child wellbeing and help children develop key skills to succeed in life.
Three Comprehensive Programs:
ONE Low Cost
Promoting employee and family wellbeing
Continuing professional development
Ongoing family engagement

How the program works – simple as 1…2…3

2. REMINDERS: Each month, registrants receive a reminder 1 week, 1 day and 1 hour before each webinar with the link to join the webinar. Participants can join live and ask questions or access the replays on demand.
3. REPLAYS AND RESOURCES: After the live webinar all registrants receive a link to access the webinar replay and other resources in the Resource Centre (same link as step 1) and can share the resources with their immediate family members.
During the interactive webinar sessions participants receive simple and sustainable practical strategies to put into practice in their personal and/or professional lives.

What participants say about the program
Thank you once again for sharing valuable information for both our educators and families. Focussing on positivity really made me think about not only how I communicate with students, but also with our staff and my own family.
Breaking the topic down into easy-to-manage steps has been very helpful. Thank you.
Wish I had this information while I was parenting my children who are now in their 40s. However, I am now working with teenagers and am enjoying using these skills with other people's children. Thanks!
I love the strategy of saying ‘I can choose my emotions’. It is very helpful to let children know that we have the power of managing our emotions.
I want to share a reflection from one of our educators who participates in all the webinars. Even if she misses the live webinar, she watches the replay. Since we started the program, I have seen a massive development in her self-reflections and how she applies the information gained from the session to guide her lessons and growth. I just want to say a BIG thank you for being a part of this journey of growth with our whole team.
Having information and knowledge that can be practically applied at home, results in an improved and happier family life.
Lots of good tips for dealing with my sons and I have seen a noticeable effect on their overall behaviour.
