SUMMARY:Parents as Allies Webinars
DESCRIPTION:Join The Center for Universal Education at the Brooking Institution and Kidsburgh for their upcoming event\, “Parents as Allies Webinars: Transforming Education Systems Through Family-School Collaboration.” \nAbout the Series\nThe COVID-19 pandemic thrust family engagement into the spotlight\, presenting an opportunity to markedly shift the overall vision for family-school collaboration. The Center for Universal Education (CUE) at the Brookings Institution has been researching how families and schools can better work together to improve and transform how education is delivered and what it can achieve. In addition\, Kidsburgh has been working with a cohort of school districts on different family engagement strategies\, including conversations asking parents and caregivers on what schools and families can do together. \nAll events are free and will be hosted via Zoom. Registration is required. \nSession Information\nTuesday\, January 25  | 12:00 – 1:00 p.m. \nThis session is recommended for school leaders and teachers. Join lead author Rebecca Winthrop to explore CUE’s newly released playbook on family-school engagement\, featuring key findings from a global survey of 25\,000 parents and 6\,000 teachers and a review of more than 500 effective family engagement strategies around the world. After a short presentation\, attendees and educators will work in virtual breakout rooms to discuss insights from surveys across school districts in southwestern PA as well as create a shared vision for education that can lead to transformation. \nWednesday\, January 26 | 7:00 – 7:45 p.m. \nThis session is recommended for parents and caregivers. In this virtual webinar\, KDKA TV’s Kristine Sorensen moderates a presentation and discussion with CUE’s lead author Rebecca Winthrop and Kidsburgh’s Ambassador Yu-Ling Cheng.

SUMMARY:Exploring Family Stressors and Creating Positive Relationships to Support Families
DESCRIPTION:Join Trying Together for the upcoming session\, “Talking to Listen: Exploring Family Stressors and Creating Positive Relationships to Support Families”. \nChildren react differently to stress and trauma\, which can sometimes exhibit itself as challenging behaviors in the classroom. This workshop helps educators understand the impact that family stressors (such as a death\, food insecurity\, changes in placement\, community violence\, etc.) can have on both children and their caregivers. Participants will learn how to notice these family stressors; how to communicate with caregivers to build relationships that provide a supportive environment for young children; and self-regulation strategies to manage strong emotions when having difficult conversations with caregivers. \nUnConference: Creating a Safe Place with Trauma-Informed Care\nThis session is a part of Trying Together’s upcoming UnConference. Between February 8-18\, expert-led workshops will share content related to trauma-informed care. We begin the UnConference with keynote speaker Dr. Veirdre Jackson and dive into how we can create an environment of healing through equity and trust. Following the keynote\, workshop sessions include how to identify family stressors\, how to provide responsive care-giving for children experiencing trauma\, and an overview of the recently launched Rapid Response Team from Trying Together. \nIndividuals can learn more and register on Trying Together’s website.
