REMINDER: Attendance at training sessions, unless pre-registration is required, is first-come basis. Creating an agenda via SCHED or the mobile app does not guarantee a place in the session.
Engaging parents in the education and activities of their children is vital to the success of youth and of youth-serving programs. However, engaging parents continues to be challenging for many schools and programs due to time constraints (for both staff and parents), language and literacy issues, and a lack of resources to devote to effective parent involvement. Using the Partners in Education: A Dual Capacity-Building Framework for Family-School Partnerships, this workshop will discuss the benefits of parent involvement, identify different approaches, and suggest strategies for engaging parents.
