The Parents’ integration through Partnership (PIP) toolkit was developed to support ESOL providers working with children’s centres and primary schools in the UK to run contextualised ESOL programmes for parents/ carers.
This toolkit is aimed at ESOL teachers and children’s centre/primary school partners who:
– may not have run an ESOL programme before and would like to set one up
– may have run generic ESOL or Family Learning programmes and would like to develop a programme which specifically targets parents and carers who:
−are new to the UK
−need to develop their skills in English
−would like to develop their skills and confidence in supporting their child’s learning
−would like to get more involved in the children’s centre and/or primary school.
This toolkit shares ideas, resources and lessons learned from the PIP project. All the materials and activities in this toolkit were piloted on PIP courses taught by Learning Unlimited teachers and trainers.
