Family involvement in after high school planning is an integral part of promoting successful outcomes for students. That's why it's imperative that schools find ways, including tools, that make it easier to integrate parents and guardians, so that you're working alongside each other. Sharing the load with parents ensures that future readiness is not just an in-class activity, but it sets it up as a strategy for life-long success, including graduation. As students navigate these difficult decisions with the support of their families, they strengthen their academic motivations, and parents are given the opportunity to reinforce post-secondary planning at home.
Watch this recorded webinar for ideas on how to increase parental involvement in your program, from kindergarten through high school.
