Community-Based Parent Involvement – Training Kit

This kit is the second in a set of four developed from the Annual IDRA La Semana del Niño Parent Institute in 2017 for use in training and technical assistance for school districts to strengthen family engagement. See overview article, “Second Installment of IDRA’s New Parent Involvement Tools for School Districts,” by Aurelio M. Montemayor, M.Ed.

The second kit is based on a presentation highlighting IDRA’s Education CAFE work in the Lower Rio Grande Valley.
