Bridging Worlds: Partnering Home and School for Student Success

When thinking about student success it is important to view the two pillars holding up our students.  Home and school walk alongside our students as they maneuver their way through the challenges of this world.  Moral foundations that align with schools will help to create a common vision. 

"Ms. Ighani empowers my child because she gives a lot of freedom to what my child wants to do and supports her along the journey. My child got to choose what she wanted to write and read about and when she faced some challenges Ms. Ighani was there to help her."

"Over the past 2.5 years, Nazli has worked in partnership with my husband and I. During that time we have witnessed a love for the learning process and a thirst for knowledge blossom in our children. Based on their learning goals and interests, Ms. Nazli adopted a project-based model to help our children dive into topics as diverse as the physics of flight, the history of the Indigenous people in Canada, the math behind a small business, or plastic waste and climate change."

"我的女儿洋洋七年级时候开始由她教英文，一年不到的时间，写作和阅读有了很大改变和进步。从一开始的天马行空没有章法的文章到现在逻辑和重点突出的好文章，离不开Ms.Ighani的细心教导。我的儿子是今年暑假才开始和她学习，针对男孩调皮不能专心的特质，老师利用孩子感兴趣的数学、科学类文章展开阅读和延申思考，进而推进孩子的学习能力。"

Community-Based Parenting

You have heard the saying, “it takes a village.”  Raising children is not something we are meant to do alone—it takes a village. In this webinar, we’ll explore how empathy, self-regulation, and social well-being can be nurtured not only at home but also through the support of a wider community. We’ll look at ways parents can build stronger connections with their children while also fostering networks of support that strengthen families, reduce isolation, and create a sense of belonging. Together, we’ll explore how community-based parenting helps children grow into resilient, compassionate, and socially aware individuals.

Gentle vs Structured Styles

Setting boundaries and implementing consequences should not be mistaken for abuse. Children need clear limits and guidance as they grow and develop. In this webinar, we will explore the four main parenting styles—authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, and neglectful—and examine how each approach impacts children. Together, we’ll look at strategies that not only protect children but also empower them to make thoughtful and responsible decisions.
