Dear Conference Participant,

Thank you for your interest in the 2011 Statewide Parental Involvement Conference, Parental Involvement: Promise & Progress.

This conference will benefit both school staff and parents. Educators will receive tips and guidance on improving relationships with

parents as well as training on rules and regulations. Parents will receive resources and strategies for improving parental involvement

skills, as well as enhancing their children’s educational opportunities. In addition, this conference will feature sessions by TEA staff on

topics ranging from NCLB guidelines to how parents can become more involved in the education of their child.

We appreciate the support and leadership the Title I Statewide School Support/Parental Involvement Initiative at Region 16 Education

Service Center has provided in the area of parental involvement. Under the leadership of ESC Executive Director John Bass and

Initiative Coordinator Terri Stafford, the Initiative continues to partner with the Agency and educators throughout the state, spreading

the word about the legal requirements for parental involvement, as well as the importance of involving parents in our schools.

Please join us in Dallas, December 8-10, 2011, for what promises to be a rewarding experience, leaving you eager to return to your

campuses armed with new strategies to shape the lives, dreams, and future progress of the students in your charge.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

You are invited to participate in the 2011 Statewide Parental Involvement Conference, December 8-10, 2011, at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel

in Dallas. The conference will provide opportunities for educators, parents, and community leaders to learn strategies for empowering all

stakeholders to increase student achievement and to meet the required mandates of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. The conference,

Promise & Progress, intends to build the capacity of all the participants in the parental involvement arena. If no child is to be left

behind, it is paramount that we all work together to “perserve the promise and promote the progress” for all our students.

The major goal of this conference is to provide a forum for dialogue on NCLB issues in parental involvement among administrators,

parents, teachers, federal program directors, ESC personnel, and community leaders with interest in improving teaching and learning.

Presentations and workshops will probe the issues inherent in the NCLB legislation, particularly as they relate to parental

involvement. The relationship between NCLB and student achievement will be the common thread among the conference’s diverse

general and concurrent sessions.

TEA staff will offer multiple concurrent sessions that will give the latest NCLB requirements and legislative updates in parentalinvolvement. The top parental involvement practitioners from around the state will offer presentations demonstrating evidence based

research strategies and best practices that will result in increased parental involvement, as well as higher achievement for all students.

There will also be a series of workshops provided in Spanish and translators will be provided at all of the general sessions.

Come and join your friends and colleagues in Dallas on December 8-10, 2011. Mail or fax the enclosed registration form today,

or use our online registration at www.esc16.net. We look forward to seeing you at the 2011 Statewide Parental Involvement Conference!

Icon” and recently appeared on The Oprah Radio Network.

Manuel Scott is an original Freedom Writer whose story is told in Hollywood’s movie, Freedom

Writer . “I do not share my story to impress people,” Scott explains, “but to impress upon themsome invaluable lessons that could literally change the quality o their lives orever. When I speak

I am absolutely committed to making sure audiences are crystal clear about how to transormtheir lives, organizations, departments, or classrooms. Manuel Scott’s unique message is one that

has inspired, educated, and empowered almost a million people, helping them make the most otheir lives.

At the age o ourteen, Manuel dropped out o school, and his English grammar was so poor thathe was classifed as an English as a Second Language student (ESL). By the age o 16, he had

already lived in 26 dierent places. At an early age, he began using drugs and alcohol.

However, due to an amazing transormation, Manuel has defed all the odds stacked againsthim. Scott says, “I was once dismissed as ‘unreachable’ and ‘unteachable,’ but something specia

happened, and I love sharing that message with others.” The high school drop-out now holdsdegrees rom the University o Caliornia at Berkeley and Trinity International University. He iscurrently working on his PhD in Chicago, IL.

LaDonna Gatlin knows frsthand that we can’t live someone else’s dream…that in order to be our

absolute best, we must fnd our own voice and “sing our own song.”

LaDonna literally grew up on stage singing with her brothers – the legendary Gatlin BrothersIn the early 1970’s the Gatlins took their amily harmony to Nashville. But a detour appeared onthe road to stardom…LaDonna got married. At this defning moment, she realized that success

or her could be measured in a dierent way. So she took a giant leap o aith, chose to ollowher heart, and “sing a dierent song” apart rom her brothers. She has spent her entire career

empowering people to “sing their own song” as well…rom the inside out…through their words,their deeds, and their actions.

A seasoned proessional, LaDonna has shared her message everywhere…rom corporate

powerhouses to the prison cells o death row. She truly speaks rom the heart with stories that arethe stu o lie, driving home common sense wisdom or everyday living in the process. LaDonnais uniquely gited to speak and sing her message straight into your heart. Her presentations

educate, inspire and entertain and are an unorgettable experience or her audiences!
