Parent Education Program: Videos
This part of the Program is a series of video presentations by subject-matter experts.
Today's children exist in a world which requires "21st century skills" which include self-reliance & awareness, critical thinking & decision making and teamwork & collaboration.
These skills emphasize the importance of working both individually and collaboratively to succeed. The development of these skills is the shared responsibility of parents and educators.
Each presentation covers the key elements of one aspect of learning, development or engagement and gives practical suggestions for how parents can support their children.
