How Does School Really Benefit Me
and My Future?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description: |
Sadly, many low to moderate
income students find it difficult to remain motivated and focused on school.
Sometimes, with little support and few resources, school can even appear
to be a waste of time for students who are at risk of failure. In this
session, students will have the opportunity to explore reasons for obtaining
a quality education and ways in which they can take a more active role
in their own educational process in order to ensure greater motivation,
focus, and success in both their education and future. |

Unfortunately, due to circumstances
beyond their control, many minority and low income parents may not have
the knowledge
and/or resources needed for helping their children to receive a quality
education and a successful future. Our workshops will leave parents feeling
empowered to make a more positive and effective difference in their children’s
education and future! |

How Do I Develop an Effective Support System
for My Child and Our Family?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description: |
With so many people quick
to criticize our parenting skills and the many different professional
opinions, it’s often hard to know where to turn for help when developing
a strong support system for your child and your family. This session will
allow parents to evaluate the effectiveness of those within their family’s
support structure as well as additional resources to be included in their
existing support system so that their family continues to build a strong
foundation.

What Else Can I Do to Prepare My
Child for a Successful Education and Future?
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Description: |
When it comes to parenting,
many parents do the best they can with the knowledge and skills they possess
and the resources they have at their fingertips. This workshop will not
only affirm much of what parents are doing now, but will also provide them
with additional strategies for helping their children to have a successful
education and future. Parents will also learn about and discuss topics
in education such as state testing and college preparation as they gain
important information for becoming involved in their child’s education
beyond fundraisers, field trips, school activities, and parent conferences. |
