Keys to Student Success: What Parents, Educators, and Leaders Need to Know

Parents, students, citizens, business leaders, community leaders, and school leaders met on Saturday, October 20, at Woodson High School from 8 a.m. to 12 noon, to learn more about the deep connection between parent involvement and student success, and the steps parents can take to make sure their child succeeds. National expert and Harvard professor Dr. Ronald Ferguson spoke at the event and shared his latest research on parent involvement.

Following the keynote presentation, three breakout sessions gave attendees practical skills to use at home including how to motivate your student, structuring your home for school success, and family involvement strategies for busy parents.
