WORTH AND ENGAGE ITS CONSTITUENCY.

WORKING IN ISOLATION IS NO LONGER AN EFFECTIVE

METHOD WHEN ENGAGING PARENTS

ESTABLISHING PARENT ENGAGEMENT AS A FEEDER PATTERN INITIATIVE PROVIDES STRENGTH, FOCUS, AND CONNECTIVENESS.


THE FEEDER PATTERN APPROACH TO PARENT ENGAGEMENT IS MORE

COST EFFECTIVE AND ACCOMMODATING.

HOW DO WE MARKET THIS NEW APPROACH AND WHAT IMPACT WILL IT

HAVE ON THE OVERALL PARENT ENGAGEMENT PROCESS?

IN ORDER FOR PARENTS TO CREATE

POSITIVE CHANGES IN THE LIFE OF

THEIR CHILDREN, THEY MUST BE

ENGAGED AND EMPOWERED, NOT

INVOLVED!


“ In the final analysis it is not what you

do for your children but what you have

taught them to do for themselves that

will make them successful human

beings.”
