In an effort to support parents and educators in their work of improving results for all students, the Parent & Educator Partnership is hosting the Parent Leadership Institute. The Institute goal is to equip parent leaders to work collaboratively with their school districts to engage families in meaningful participation. Meaningful participation happens when parents and educators have an understanding of school improvement.
This two-day Institute is designed to provide parent leaders with tools and information necessary to understand school improvement and how to facilitate collaboration between parents and professionals to improve outcomes for students.
