Meddling Mamas and Prying Papas will provide educators the strategies and interventions needed to encourage (or tone down) parents' participation in their child's learning and educational environment; in addition to informing parents how they have the ability to positively or negatively impact and influence their child's academic achievement and welfare. Attendance to this workshop will give educators new insights on what parents are thinking, why they act the way they do and how you as the professional can set boundaries, while also encouraging you to explore ways to bridge and enhance relationships with your parents when possible for the sake of your students. Hands on activities, role playing, and dress up is included. Guaranteed to be one of the best parent involvement staff developments you have ever attended.
