Share is a family learning
programme,
developed by
ContinYou, one of the UK’s leading community
learning organisations.
Share is a great way for families with children from pre-school age
to 13 to share time together and have fun. Share can be run in a
variety of
settings, including schools,
children’s centres, community centres, libraries, museums and
more.
Share aims to:
- improve the educational achievement of children
- motivate parents to take an active interest in their children's
education
- increase parents' understanding of
the vital role they play in their children's learning
- enable parents to gain
accreditation for what they learn as they support their children's
learning
- develop effective management and
organisation of parental involvement in schools/settings
Share does this through sessions with a
trained facilitator. To support their children's learning
parents and carers will work with their children using a range of
Share materials. The materials are structured to complement the
classroom teaching of Foundation Stage, KS1, KS2 and KS3 topics.
The emphasis is on the shared learning experience rather than on
specific tasks, such as spelling.
