Family Literacy: Intervention
1. School lacks parent involvement and the schools ED and Principal expects that your Family Literacy component play a major role in creating an active parent committee…what would you do?
2. You have a tutor who you have noticed has created strong relationships with the parents at your site. How would you use that tutor to work within your CORE and Family Literacy Grant?
![Page 23: Effective High School Family Literacy](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56813d02550346895da6a3c8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
3. You have decided that you will hire a Parent Coordinator with your Fam Lit grant. How will you manage this new position? How will you strategically use him/her to work with the regular school and after school?
4. Your principal has already determined how the family literacy grant will be spent. How will you approach the situation and how will you make it work so that your opinion is taken into consideration?
