Building a Learning Community: Involving Parents

With the heightened emphasis on the learning community in the International Baccalaureate's Enhanced PYP, we have been aiming to reach out to parents in various different ways at the Aga Khan Academy Hyderabad, India. Adding to other long-standing engagements such as parent involvement in school events, participation as guest speakers and taking feedback through surveys and questionnaires, we have explored bringing parents on-board in some new ways of late. These include learning alongside their children, sharing their perspectives on our curriculum and contributing to our resource bank through item donation.
