Dear
Colleagues:
When parents are
effective, children do better at school and in life in
general. Parents are the first and foremost teachers of
your students.
Unfortunately, the parents of
some of your most frustrating and challenging kids
sometimes do not have the parenting skills they need to
be your partner in helping a student achieve and stay on
track.
A
recent study by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation
says it's a myth that many parents of high-risk students
aren't interested in being involved in their children's
educations. They just don't know how to do it or how to
do it effectively.
Many dropouts say if only
their parents had known they were in trouble at school,
it might have made the difference in keeping them from
dropping out (Silent Epidemic,
2006).
In this 2-hour
webinar, I will be discussing parent training
in schools and the different programs that are available
to teach parents how to do their jobs more effectively
so that students become more
productive.
Some of the topics I
will be covering include...
- The benefits of
effective parenting and parenting education
- Defining effective
parenting
- The productive
parenting pattern
- Parenting programs
that teach the productive pattern
- How to
bring parent training programs to your schools
- Working with parents
of different ethnic backgrounds
- Other ways of
promoting the productive parenting pattern
- Free parenting
resources
- Organizations that can
help
