Parent involvement has a causal relationship to greater academic achievement, fewer risky behaviors in teens, stronger parent-teacher/school relationships, improved child and teen behavior, higher graduation rates, and increased enrollment after high school. Parents, counselors, therapists, and educators share the same goal: student success, but often see themselves as being on opposite sides of the fence. How do we get parents to see we’re on the same team? In this interactive session, participants will examine their current parent engagement efforts for indicators that demonstrate shared values, mutual respect, and a spirit of collaboration while maintaining the educators’ professional values and integrity.
