Videos
These videos were made when Debbie visited Australia in 2018 (and spoke at the Parents Victoria Conference). They’re a great introduction to the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of successful family engagement in schools, Debbie has a great talent for taking her decades of academic study on the topic and turning it into brief, clear and heartfelt presentations. Each video is only a few minutes long.
