Parenting Partners
When parents and schools work together, students have a greater opportunity to succeed. Parenting Partners equips families with practical tools, strengthens trust, and helps schools build partnerships that continue beyond the workshop.
âś“ Proven family engagement program
âś“ Practical tools parents can use at home
âś“ Turnkey training and resources for your team
Schools can create opportunities, send invitations, host events, and communicate with families. But meaningful partnership also requires parents to feel confident in the role they play.
Parenting Partners helps strengthen the other side of the equation by giving parents practical tools, building their confidence, and helping them become more connected to their child’s education and school community.
That gives schools something much more valuable than attendance at an event. It creates families who are better equipped to work alongside them.
Parenting Partners is a five-workshop family engagement program that equips parents with practical skills they can use at home right away.
Through interactive conversations, hands-on activities, and simple take-home tools, parents learn how to communicate more effectively, build their child’s confidence, create healthy routines, set clear expectations, and support academic success.
Along the way, parents also begin to see themselves as an important part of their child’s educational team. They are encouraged to communicate with teachers, participate in school activities, advocate for their children, and build stronger relationships with their school.
Parenting Partners is designed to make implementation simple for your school team.
Your program includes the materials, resources, and support facilitators need to confidently lead each workshop and create an engaging experience for families.
Your team does not have to build the workshops from scratch.
Each facilitator receives a step-by-step guide designed to help them confidently lead every Parenting Partners session. Facilitators have clear instructions, activities, discussion prompts, timing guidance, and everything they need to know before each workshop.
We give your team the structure. They bring the relationships they already have with their families.
Parenting Partners was designed for the realities families face every day.
Rather than simply giving parents information, each workshop gives families practical strategies they can begin using with their children right away.
The Parent Workbook helps families continue learning between sessions and gives them simple tools they can return to long after the workshops are over.
