Family Learning. Families and school partner in learning about 7 Habits and leadership principles through effective communication and mutual respect. The school provides resources and trainings and encourages students to Teach to Learn with their families. Students and staff members are able to see leadership in the physical environment, hear leadership through the common language of the 7 Habits, and feel leadership through a culture of caring, relationships, and affirmation.
Family Learning. The Centre for Research on the Wider Benefits of Learning recorded that as the average learning increases, inequality decreases, and that learning has a crucial role to play in breaking cycles of deprivation - not just addressing inequality in income but also increasing participation in community and having a positive impact on family life. An intensive targeted approach to family learning at community level, funded by Education Scotland, is being piloted, as a model of prevention and early intervention. Using the data zone population figures data zone clusters in St Marys and Kirkton, where it identified the highest levels of families likely to have literacy difficulties. A small team of literacy workers have been offering a range of opportunities focussed on families from these specific data zones to come together and take part in activities which promote early literacies learning. The main method used to contact and engage with families has been door knocking and community engagement. Literacy workers have knocked on doors and spoken to people on their doorsteps. They have also hosted a range of family learning events in the community .The project commenced in Oct 2012 and so far has engaged and worked with 43 families. Text messaging and social media has been used to stay in contact with families and to publicise events and activities. It is widely acknowledged that children's educational and social success are significantly increased if they have parents who are engaged in learning and this work aims to increase early literacy opportunities leading to greater success on starting school. Early evidence is showing greater family interaction. This work links to the early years prevention work highlighted in Outcome 3 and supports the development and capacity building role needed to assist parents as early educators as highlighted in the Being a Parent in Dundee Strategy.
