How can you help your child learn at home without stress, conflict, or overwhelm?
Join CSPD’s Learning Outcomes team for a practical parent session focused on simple, realistic ways families can support learning at home, from primary through to secondary school.
You’ll hear practical ideas around:

- helping children retain information
- reading and learning habits
- understanding some of the teaching approaches used in today’s CSPD classrooms

Whether your child is in primary or secondary school, this session will provide practical takeaways you can start using at home straight away.
