Schools have good intentions about involving parents and families, but because educators were likely never trained on how to effectively do so, schools often resort to offering random acts of parent involvement – formulaic family events school have been doing for the last 50 years that make little impact. When schools engage in more effective practices, good intentions become high-quality family engagement that reinforces what students are learning in the classroom. Because teacher buy-in is significantly associated with increased parent and family engagement, learn how to lead the way in parent and family engagement using ReadyRosie, an online resource provided to all Title I-funded campuses in Denton ISD. Learn how to use this tech tool to engage parents and families while supporting classroom learning objectives.
*If new to a Denton ISD campus that receives Title I, this is a terrific opportunity for you!

- Be motivated and prepared to lead parent and family engagement efforts.
