This project aims to:
- identify forms of digital exclusion and inclusion impacting on parents’ ability to support their children’s education;
- produce a new conceptual model of technologically mediated school-home relationships;
- and provide a comprehensive map of school-home connected digital tools and services.
Combining a detailed survey of 500 school leaders with innovative networked case studies across three schools and 18 families, this will be the first national study to comprehensively describe and analyse home-school partnerships in the digital age.
It will provide policy and educational leadership with a roadmap for addressing barriers to digital inclusion, as schools advance their integration of digital platforms.
