Family Learning
What is Family Learning? Family Learning is part of Nottingham City Council Children's Services - Alternative Provision. It is funded by the Nottinghamshire Learning & Skills Council and the City Council. Families are not only our first and most important teachers but they also teach us the most important things in life. The values, attitudes and culture that we learn from our families can stay with us throughout our lives. We acquire knowledge from school but that knowledge is given a context by the family. For example, children learn to read at school but it is often the family that nurtures a love of reading. Without family support, a child's formal education is an uphill struggle. There is evidence that family learning can overcome difficulties associated with a disadvantaged background for both parents and children. Family Learning schemes are often a second chance for parents, and grandparents, to return to learning, creating a host of fresh opportunities to pursue previously thwarted ambitions. Family Learning covers all forms of informal and formal learning that involves more than one generation. 'Family' members can include friends as well as family, refecting the range of support relationships that individuals rely on in the twenty-first century.
