 | Parent Involvement Program, Mary Hanson presentation, 4/4/08
A Most Successful Parent Involvement Program!
presented by Mary Hanson, Principal, Madelia Public Schools Minnesota Association of School Administrators Spring Conference
April 4, 2008 11:15 a.m. - 12:15 p.m.
This session focused on how to prepare
and run a successful family reading night. Strategies and ideas that have
proved successful were shared with participants.
In Mary's words: "My presentation was on Successful Family Nights. I usually have between 150-200 people at my family nights. A principal from Northfield said he usually has 4 people! (I know how many I have because I set the tables, etc!!) I did comment to the group of superintendents who attended my session that I was somewhat surprised because the superintendent is not usually the hands-on person for family nights. Therefore, I talked a lot about what they could do to support family nights, the research and rationale, etc. along with some practical ideas they could take back to their district."
