Parent Education

School-Family-Community Partnership Promotes College Readiness and Access For All Students

I provide parent education trainings for schools and community organizations. Before our day together, I will have a detailed strategy call(s) with the organizer to learn about the parent audience and the needs of the community. All parent workshops are tailored to the community; here is a list of some of the topics you can choose from based on your parents needs in your community and the length of the parent session. Menu:

  • College Aspirations & Awareness
  • Creating A College Going Culture In The Home
  • Why Middle School REALLY Does Count Toward College
  • Academic Planning (Junior & Senior Year Timeline)
  • College Criteria & Terminology
  • College & Career Exploration/The College Search
  • College Admission Planning
  • College Financial Aid & Scholarships
  • College Admissions Process & Timeline
  • College Financial Aid Process & Timeline
  • College Admission Details and Deadlines
  • The Role Of The Parent In College Admissions & Financial Aid (Family Involvement)
  • Transition From High School Graduation to College Enrollment
  • Facts & Myths About College

At the end of the sessions…

  • Your parents have more clarity about the chosen topic(s) and feel supported by the community
  • Your community leaders have a foundation to continue to build college awareness and college aspiration within its families
  • Your parents leave the session feeling informed and more confident in their role supporting their college-bound son or daughter
  • Your students benefit from parent knowledge
  • It’s a win-win for the student, family, school and community.
