Dr. Gill Baxter has collaborated with teachers and school leaders over the past 11 years, to critically examine ways in which primary schools can adapt school structures and practice to enhance families’ engagement in their children’s learning. Gill recently completed her PhD which highlighted opportunities for teachers to (re)frame family engagement as cultural work, within a context of culturally responsive practice. Gill has also undertaken a separate study which examined school leaders’ efforts to support teachers use of social media for family engagement in children’s learning.
