Research strand 4

Families schools communities

An effective collaboration between actors and actresses who are attentive to the educational success of young people can efficiently reinforce initiatives implemented to promote pupil retention and address the educational and social difficulties of the learners.

Managing staff: Débora Poncelet et Willy Lahaye

Through a global approach which calls for interventions at various levels (micro, meso, macro), the members of strand 4 investigate the links between families, school and associated services, and the mechanisms and initiatives that are available to promote pupil retention.

They explore the instruments that promote these alliances, for example:

  • Training for professionals
  • A clear definition of the partners’ roles
  • Active and varied involvement of the parents and knowledge of their rights and, more broadly, of school systems and jargon
  • Reciprocal relationships in the teams…

The members of this strand also study the experiences of families with regard to the critical duality of a collaboration which is said to be necessary, but which often does not take place in practice.
