Reaching Disconnected Parents
LaMarr Darnell Shields & David Miller, The Urban Leadership Institute
Families care about their children and want to be good partners. Often, though, a lack of time, easily accessible information, consumer friendly materials, or willing partners can make the process of involvement cumbersome at best, and sometimes nonexistent. This workshop provides tangible strategies to engage parents who are often non-responsive and apathetic. Explore the factors that lead to these behaviors and hear about lessons learned from Urban Leadership Institute's direct work with parents.
Participants will learn:
- Ways to engage disconnected parents
- Barriers to parental engagement
- How parental engagement impacts student achievement
Audience: Family Service Providers, Parent Educators, Case Managers, Social Workers, Teachers, Counselors, Outreach Coordinators, Juvenile Justice Professionals and Law Enforcement
Skill Level(s): Beginner (0-3 years) and Mid-Level (4-8 years)
Competency Area: Families and communities
Continuing Education:
- 2 CRUs
- 5 Hours from NASW, IAPP, INPRA (must petition), NCFR (approval pending)
