• The correlation between parental involvement and academic achievement • Factors that contribute to underachievement

Brief Program Description

Parental involvement is one of the leading indicators of a student's academic achievement. The lack of parental support or counter-productive parental participation often contributes to suspensions, expulsions, and truancy. This interactive seminar will provide participants with useful strategies that can be used to transform a problematic parent into a participating partner and help them understand the importance of their role in their children’s academic success.

Summary

Seminar participants will gain an in-depth understanding of the parental missteps and attitudinal opposition that often undermine their child’s ability to complete their education successfully. Participants will also receive strategies that can be employed to help parents better understand their role and overcome various challenges.
