Working in Partnership with your Child’s School with Dr Samantha Hornery

You’re in this together! You and your child’s teachers need to be working alongside each other throughout your child’s education to ensure your child can enjoy school, participate in school and finish school ready to take on their next adventure.

Many things will change throughout your child’s schooling – their teachers at least once a year, their school at least once – but what remains constant is you, their parent and holder of all the knowledge and history of your child’s successful experiences in learning.

In this workshop Samantha will provide practical strategies to help parents and schools work together in partnership, to divvy up the support and help each other help the child at the centre of this relationship.

Dr Samantha Hornery is a primary and special education teacher who has worked in school and community settings teaching, developing and managing educational programs for students with learning difficulties. She has extensive experience in the development and implementation of professional learning opportunities for teachers and health professionals. She completed her PhD evaluating Learning Links’ Reading for Life Program and won the NSW Institute for Educational Research Outstanding Thesis in 2012.

This talk will be highly relevant to parents, family members, teachers and other professionals working with children/teens with ADHD and other learning difficulties.
