Parental involvement is one of the leading indicators of students’ academic achievement. The lack of parental support frequently found within the African American and Latino communities has often contributed to suspensions, expulsions, and truancy. This interactive seminar will provide participants with useful strategies that can be used to increase the level of parental involvement and help parents understand the importance of their role in their children’s academic success.
