School Speaking Engagements for Parents
$500 CAD | 90-minute session + optional Q&A | Up to 60 parents
These community speaking engagements explore what happens when expectations, communication, and responsibilities between home and school are misaligned — and how that misalignment impacts student behaviour, learning, and well-being.
Grounded in real classroom experiences, these sessions share tangible examples of what schools are seeing, what families may not always realize, and where disconnects commonly occur. The focus is on clarity, perspective, and shared understanding — extending conversations schools often cannot fully have due to time, policy, or role boundaries.
This is not a workshop or training session. It is a facilitated speaking engagement designed to inform, challenge assumptions, and offer real-world examples families can reflect on and interpret within their own contexts.
What’s Covered
Real-world examples of how routines, structure, and communication at home influence student experiences at school
Insight into report cards, curriculum expectations, and common misunderstandings between families and schools
Perspectives on key transitions, including junior high and high school, and why these stages often create tension
Examples of navigating challenges with teachers while understanding school roles, limitations, and expectations
Considerations for immigrant and culturally diverse families navigating school norms and communication styles
Parents leave with increased clarity, a stronger understanding of school realities, and concrete examples to consider as they support their children.
Why Schools & Communities Invite These Sessions
Reinforces existing school messaging without placing additional demands on staff
Helps reduce misunderstandings that can contribute to behaviour, attendance, and engagement challenges
Builds trust and shared understanding with diverse family communities
Supports early awareness and prevention without positioning schools as sole problem-solvers
Suitable for:
School-hosted parent evenings, PAC nights, transition meetings, newcomer orientations, community groups, and district-supported family engagement initiatives.
