Training Content:
Success in increasing the involvement of parents in their children’s education is directly tied to the actions and policies that schools have in place to welcome all families. One key factor that determines whether parents choose to become involved with their children’s schools is whether they feel their participation is welcomed and needed by the school. This half-day training will position your school to have the best parent involvement year ever! You will:
¨ Learn what research says about the connection of school environment to increasing parent involvement.
¨ Find out how to assess your school’s family friendly factors, including assessing how welcoming your school’s front office is to all families.
¨ Learn how to improve “friendliness” factors and two-way communication between home and school.
¨ Identify the strengths of your diverse school community for building a welcoming school climate.
¨ Learn outreach strategies to connect with under-involved families to improve student outcomes.
¨ Receive ideas, resources and materials to use immediately.
¨ Have opportunities to meet other parent and school leaders to learn about their successful practices.
