This interactive two and a half-day training will allow participants opportunities to put theory and knowledge into simulated practice through many experiential activities, positive feedback, small and large group activities, as well as reflection and planning time. Parent and Family Engagement: Exploring Strategies in Systems and Program Services will address specific areas that can be woven into the Parent Committee, the family partnership agreement process, and other areas of the program.
