Berni Williams worked as a business librarian for Staffordshire University and a research librarian for the BBC (at the now defunct Pebble Mill Studios) before becoming Resource Centre manager at Leek College. She now works for Jigsaw School Apps as a customer relations and social media manager. Jigsaw School Apps makes school apps for smartphones – Windows, Android and iPhone – that allow schools to keep in contact with parents wherever they are.
As part of my job I attend a lot of education shows and meet a lot of teachers and heads in the UK. When I talk to them about improving their parental engagement I get a variety of responses. Some (hopefully half-jokingly!) say “Do we have to?”, but most are really interested in how this can be done.
