The Content
- CBA’s explained
- Purpose of the CBA’s
- Supporting Parents to encourage student engagements and school attendance
- Nuturing resilience and curiosity in your child
We take the stress out of tackling CBAs by providing parents with the same a roadmap we provide to students. We have identified six skills common to all CBAs: Planning and Organisation, Connecting to the subject, Research, Presentation, Accuracy, and Reflection. The workshop unpacks these skills and empowers parents to support and motivate their child to use them effectively.
