First Presenter's Brief Biography
Reverend Timothy Allen is a nationally recognized lecturer on urban issues. Born and raised in the city of Boston, he began his career in the corporate world, experiencing success in engineering, sales and executive recruiting. His heart for the plight of troubled youth drove him to begin working directly with this population as his vocation. For more than 20 years, he has worked with high-risk youth and their families. He has pioneered strategies to assist youth in re-integrating into their home communities and has designed and delivered training for families to help them support their children. His innovations have caught the attention of law enforcement agencies, schools, community-based organizations, and faith-based organizations, for which he is a regular speaker, trainer and consultant. Rev. Allen is also the senior pastor of the Greater Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, an urban ministry that focuses on restoring broken families.

Summary
Getting parents to come to a meeting can often be a daunting task. The hectic schedules of today’s parents coupled with a reluctance to be part of the team can make it difficult to meet to discuss a student’s educational challenges and needs. Educators must be laser focused when given the opportunity to meet with a parent. Drawing from various techniques found in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI), this interactive seminar will provide participants with useful strategies that can be used to obtain and convey the maximum amount of information during a parent teacher conference.
