Help students toward educational success

June 12, 2019 Educator's Corner Opinion

Every child has the power to succeed in school and in life and every parent or a family member. But the question is, how can children learn and how to prepare them to learn towards their own success?
We know, for example, that children tend to do the same things as their parents do. What we say and do in our daily lives can help them to develop positive attitudes toward school and learning and to build confidence in themselves as learners.
Showing our children that we both value education and use it in our daily lives provides them with powerful models and contributes greatly to their success in school.
As our children’s first and most important teacher, it’s important that all parents build and keep strong ties to our children’s schools. When parents and families are involved in their children’s schools, the children do better and have better feelings about going to school.
We help our children to succeed by working with teachers to make sure that they provide curricula and use teaching methods that are based on strong scientific evidence about what works best in helping students to learn.
By showing interest in their children’s education, parents and families can spark enthusiasm in them and lead them to a very important understanding—that learning can be enjoyable as well as
rewarding, and is well worth the effort required.
In some cases, this requires helping your children understand their own abilities.
This may include teaching some compensation and coping techniques. For children to be successful in school, parents and families need to be actively involved in their children’s learning.
They need to become involved early and stay involved throughout the school year. In fact, many studies show that what the family does is more important to a child’s school success than how much money the family makes or how much education the parents have.
For success in school, children need to learn to listen carefully, to see and hear details and to follow and give clear directions. Since student success is a number one priority.
Let us help them develop a variety of interests that will naturally increase their level of learning overall.
