ParentCamp: Innovative Strategy to Engage Families

Friday February 24, 2017
10:00 - 11:30 AM
Room 203

This session will provide participants with innovative ways to engage parents in topics of importance to Title I schools and school districts and the state level using the ParentCamp model. ParentCamp is a highly effective vehicle that can be used to provide parents with a forum to share their voices, while also promoting a viable way of partnering for collective student success. Participants will experience first-hand how the ParentCamp is organized and implemented in a Title I school, school district and/or at the state level. Additionally, ParentCamp is linked to the U.S. Department of Education’s Dual Capacity-Building Framework. The session will demonstrate how this model is revolutionizing the way we engage families and draw on their funds of knowledge.
