In this engaging and informative presentation, Dr. Steve Constantino, the Nation's Leading Practitioner in Family Engagement, will share his highly-acclaimed model for effectively engaging every family in the educational lives of their children with an emphasis on those families that are traditionally disengaged and disenfranchised from their child's school. Through his "Five Simple Principles (tm)" Model, Dr. Constantino will help participants understand the cycle of disengagement and how to reverse it to effectively engage every family and improve student learning outcomes for every student. Engaging families in the academic lives of their children is the goal of every school everywhere. With his famous use of storytelling, infectious humor and knack for telling it like it is, Dr. Constantino will leave participants both smiling and thinking, but most importantly, motivated to put into place practices that...Engage Every Family!
