Mentores transformaciónales: Guiando a los padres de liderazgo sobre la educación superior.
Los administradores escolares confían en el líderazgo de los padres voluntarios y para-educadores para orientar y guiar a los niños y sus padres en las escuelas. Sin embargo, poca atención ha sido dada sobre los beneficios académicos de los líderes que hacen este tipo de trabajo. ¿Cuáles son los beneficios de aquellos que conectan las familias y las comunidades a nuestras escuelas? Cuando estos líderes adquieren la experiencia de la academia, se vuelven más preparados para guiar y orientar a los estudiantes y a las familias a quienes sirven sobre educación futura. El taller estará abierto para compartir historias, ideas y herramientas sobre cómo transformarse los padres voluntarios y los para-educadores en lideres.

Funds of Knowledge in Latino/a Families: Perspectives of the Parents
This workshop shares the results of our research study on Latino/a families' home educational practices and provides strategies that reframe deficit perspectives to facilitate family engagement in culturally relevant ways. We will analyze survey data expressing Latino/a families’ views towards parents’ and teachers’ responsibility for children’s education and the perceived willingness of educators to engage collaboratively with culturally and linguistically diverse families. We will then share strategies for encouraging better collaboration between home and school.

Nuestros padres cruzaron fronteras y nuevas barreras para nuestro enriquecimiento
Esta presentación es para motivar y informar a los padres hacia una vida exitosa y mejor para sus hijos dentro de la escuela. A veces el trabajo de los padres, su situación migratoria, o su falta conocimiento del inglés, les impiden hablar y compartir sus experiencias como padres. Esto les pasa especialmente mientras están tratando de equilibrar los diversos desafíos de la vida. Es por eso que los partcipantes conocerán estrategias para desarrollar su potencial como padres y guias para sus estudiantes.

Summer Does Matter For Your Children
This workshop will engage you and discuss how summer is not a vacation for 25 million low-income public school students in America. Instead of a relaxing break to explore new interests and places, it’s often a time when children, youth and families struggle to find and afford food to eat and a safe place to be.
