[google transl.] A 'school' of families to facilitate children's success

The project has training programmes for parents to contribute to children's education.

The virtual classroom will help to make it compatible with daily and work activities.

The project ´Escuela for Familias´ starts this course with training programs aimed at families to contribute to the education of their children. Thus, it will focus on topics such as improving the academic performance of students, school coexistence, educational success and the use of new technologies, among others. This was presented yesterday by the Minister of Education, Youth and Sports, Adela Martinez-Cachá, who stressed the importance of this project which considers "essential the role of the family in the education of students" and is committed to "actively increase their involvement in the participation bodies of schools, reinforcing the learning of different areas such as school coexistence, study techniques or the safe use of new technologies.

The measure seeks to facilitate educational skills and abilities to improve family practices, acquire theoretical-practical knowledge about the conduct of children or adolescents, know patterns of action and different approaches to address various difficulties in these ages and provide families with more knowledge and resources to promote a more effective involvement in academic monitoring of children.

This ´Escuela for Familias´ offers knowledge and resources to improve the learning possibilities of the children and the coexistence in family and in the educational centre. Among the main blocks in training, ´Saber estudiar´, ´Dificultades of aprendizaje´, ´Uso responsible for Internet´, ´Lectura in familia´ or ´Inteligencia emocional´ stands out. Within each of them, there will be training activities such as ´¿My child knows how to study?´, ´Dislexia and TDAH´, ´Estrategias for internet use at familia´, ´Introducción for intelligence emocional´ and ´Leer with hijos´.

The didactic materials have been designed by various professionals such as psychologists, pedagogues, social mediators or teachers, among others. Specifically, the materials of the Interactive Families School have the license ´Creative Commons´ and have been made by selecting the proposals of existing open educational resources of the National Center for Curricular Development in Non-Owner Systems (CEDEC), Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, National Institute of Cybersecurity, Office of Internet Security and is4k (Internet Segura for kids), among others.
