C) Call for Collaboration from Esther Sarphatie:
Esther
Sarphatie is the project leader of a network (Expertisenetwerk) in
Amsterdam on Parent Involvement at schools, primary and
secundary. Their website (in Dutch) is www.ouderbetrokkenheid.nl .
They advise and support 40 schools each year in involving parents
of their alumnees/students in order to improve the relation between
school (teacher/board) and parents. Moreover, they organise numerous
meetings in Amsterdam for schools, parents and the community of
Amsterdam (civil servants/professionals) to exchange experiences,
knowledge and best practices on parant participation. They develop
and apply several instruments and tools (handouts, manuals,
consultancies and training) that can help schools and parents to
improve their mutual relation and to stimulate children in their
schoolcareer. They also develop researchi nstruments for schools
to monitor the needs of parents, to evaluate their own activities and
to monitor their progress.
Because they intend to enlarge their network to an European
scale she would like to get in contact with other professionals
(researchers, project leaders etc) and organisations in the field
of parent participation to exchange experiences and knowledge.
Especially in the aerea of Southern Europe.
