Getting parents involved in their children’s educations is one of the first steps in insuring the educational success of those children. This CYFERnet telephone training conference will explore many dynamic interactions that directly and indirectly impact parent involvement in schools. This training will give you an opportunity to learn about the different ways parents can be involved in schools, barriers to parent involvement, and to dialogue about systemic changes that can be made to promote parent involvement.
