Evidence for Learning: School holiday activities for parents and children

School holiday activities for parents and children

School holiday activities for parents and children from the Summer School liftout.

In 2018, Evidence for Learning partnered with News Corp’s Sunday newspapers and the Commonwealth Bank to present a selection of fun and practical school holiday challenges, adventures and games, based on sound evidence and drawing on the wisdom of some of Australia’s finest teachers.

Why?

Parent and carers have the power to unlock their child’s learning potential in everyday life. But it’s not always easy to know how best to do that. So Evidence for Learning collected the research and developed four crucial learning concepts to help.

  • Creating confident learners
  • Practice makes perfect
  • Thinking about thinking
  • Meaningful conversations

To learn more about these concepts visit Evidence for Learning’s resource on home-supported learning concepts.

Head to Newscorp’s website to see the online resources you can do with your child to supercharge their learning at home. Part 1 and Part 2.
