Parent Engagement is Parent Empowerment

One universal truth is that as parents, one of our main concerns is making sure that we provide for our children's needs. As a former classroom teacher and now a mom to two amazing girls, it's a joy to share my teaching experience with fellow parents so they can support their kids with academic needs. When parents are involved and engaged with their child's learning experience, it is empowering!

In addition to working with the San Jose Area Writing Project and the Santa Clara County Office of Education, here are some other parent groups I have had the privilege of working with this past season.

Leveraging Your Child's Learning Style for Success - Zanker Elementary PTA

For the past several months, I have been contributing short articles for GenParenting. One of my articles about Teacher-Parent conferences caught the attention of Sunday Friends and they asked me to share with their parents. What a special treat it was to give a presentation to parents and take a tour of the afternoon activities happening at Sunday Friends!

Well friends, that's a wrap for Fall and Winter events for Encouraging Literacy! 

How can I help you get more involved in your child's education? The more you know, the more you are empowered to help your children to be successful in school.
