Families can stay engaged throughout the school year with Parent Academy TO GO. Parent Academy TO GO is a series of webinars for families to watch at home and is designed to inform and empower families as advocates and partners in their children’s education. 

A partial list of workshops are available below and the full list of workshops are listed in this playlist:

• Modes of Learning – Support Your Child At Home: Gain insight on how to approach homework and maximize learning by embracing your child’s learning styles. Is your child an auditory learner? A visual learner? A tactile-kinesthetic learner? When we understand how they learn best, it becomes easier to engage and support them with daily homework and other projects. Presented by Parent Assistant Resource (PAR). Recommended for families of middle and high school students.

• Power Tools for Power Struggles: Frequent power struggles between parents and children can seriously hurt relationships. Battles over chores, homework, television, and internet use can take away from family time. Learn what really causes the power struggle, get tips to avoid them, and develop a game plan for gaining your child’s cooperation. Presented by the Parent Encouragement Program (PEP). Recommended for parents of elementary, middle, and high school students.

• Destination College – Understanding the College Admissions Process: Do you need help navigating the college admissions process? Do you know what admissions officers consider when evaluating college applications? The focus of this workshop is on understanding how to maximize the impact of college admissions applications and on selecting and developing essay topics. Presented by Achieva Educational Consulting. Recommended for families of high school students.
