MarvellousMe Parent Engagement App – NAPE 076

‘MarvellousMe is a game-changer for parent engagement.’

MarvellousMe engages parents by telling them about their children’s learning and success. It enriches family conversations about school and makes it easy for parents to help their children’s education and say: ‘Well done!’

Delivering a positive teacher-parent partnership, MarvellousMe makes it easy for schools to implement the best practice prescribed by experts like the Education Endowment Foundation. To build and sustain excellent parent engagement and positive behaviour school-wide.

Designed by a once disengaged dad, MarvellousMe is different from messaging systems, social media and solo teacher apps. It involves and equips parents with personal, positive and progress-led news, and gives leaders the ability to focus parent engagement on essential topics and school values, analytics to ensure whole school consistency and peace-of-mind that data is managed centrally, securely and in the UK under the GDPR.

Inspire, involve and empower parents.

Can you help educators find answers to your questions? – NAPE 075

Here at the National Association for Primary Education are looking for educators to help us ‘Pay It Forward’.

We see hundreds of questions asked on social media every week. What if we could collate the answers, get your views and experiences in a way that could support thousands of others?

If you are an educator and have ever asked a question and received a great answer – online or in person – we invite you to Pay It Forward.

Please be a guest on the NAPE podcast with Mark Taylor (NAPE vice chair) and spend 10 minutes discussing these 5 things.

  1. How are you currently involved in education?
  2. What question did you ask?
  3. What was the answer?
  4. Who gave it to you?
  5. What advice can you share from your own experiences?

That is it!

SEN CPD with Dr Anne Margaret Smith – NAPE 074

National Association for Primary Education presents:

Special Educational Needs CPD

Monday 6th December 2021 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM

This online zoom event will cover 3 areas of Special Educational Needs to help you support your pupils:

– English as an Additional Language (EAL)

– How to identify children who may also have dyslexia or another SPLD

– Common speech, language and communication needs

Co-occurring challenges

Do you ever worry that a child in your class is not making the progress you were expecting? There may be many reasons for this – and some will overlap. In this interactive session, we will look at some of the causes of underachievement, and try to find some solutions that could benefit the whole class.

We will start by looking at how all teachers can effectively support those learners who are using English as an Additional Language (EAL), and then move on to what we should be alert to in order to identify any children who also may have dyslexia or another SPLD. Finally, we will look at some common speech, language and communication needs, and how they could be met in the classroom.

Please feel free to bring your questions and share your experiences, so that, as a group, we can empower each other to support our learners.
