Parents are a key piece of the success puzzle. Teachers new to the field of education will learn strategies to engage and motivate parents to fully participate in their child's learning and achievement. Join us as we share what works with parents: strategies, research, and resources. This session will help you put all of the key pieces of the parent puzzle together for student success.
