Parent Involvement:
Meeting High Expectations with Practical Solutions

This webcast will identify strategies for overcoming many of the challenges educators face in successfully engaging all parents in their children's academic achievement. Learn how students, families, and schools can work together to support high expectations for all students to succeed. Using a research-based parent involvement framework developed by the National Center for Family Literacy (NCFL), this webcast will address six areas important for helping teachers, schools, and districts work with families to support high expectations and success for all students. The framework is aligned with NCLB, National PTA Standards, and current research on parent involvement; and it is based on actual experience with parent/family programs.
