Engaging with Parents about School Discipline and Online Learning 5-11-2023

On May 11, 2023 CASCW and Channel Lowery (in partnership with Dr. Ceema Samini) hosted a one hour virtual training called: Engaging with Parents about School Discipline and Online Learning.

*Many families, as well as school and human service professionals, continue to reflect on the impact of the pandemic. This webinar will present an overview of a research study examining parental perspectives on school discipline and online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, what has it been like for parents balancing working and assisting their children with being in an online school environment? What has been the experience for parents in accessing and navigating online school resources and applications? The background of the study, implications, and additional considerations will be discussed as they relate to child welfare workers interacting with parents.
