 Training, Materials & Technology - Improve a Child's Achievement

These activities help parents to understand how to support and enrich learning at home or provide information on setting high expectations, careers or the road to college.  The activities also help families to use technology to support their child's learning or the road to college.   Ask yourself – Do your parents know how to support learning at home, how to set high expectations and navigate the road to college? How does the school support parents to do these things?
