Patricia- I love your brightly colored blog. It's a happy and resourceful place! The resource from National PTA Document: A How-TO Guide on Father Involvement is an informative resource that I have added to my favorites. I have never seen this one before, but now that I am aware of it, I plan on passing it on to our PTA.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Donna
Patricia, I enjoyed the resource from the National PTA on father involvement. This is one area that my partnership and many others focusing on. One new program that has been implemented by my office is the Motheread/ Fatheread program. This program is geared towards literacy in parents and understanding the true meaning behind the books that we read to children. In the past there was a Teen Parent program that included mothers and fathers. There would be joint meetings that would allow all of the teen parents to come together and share experiences, but also separate meetings that would give the teen fathers an opportunity to express their feelings and share experiences on being fathers at a young age. Male involvement and support is critical in a child's life and by encouraging men to become involved makes for a happy child and a proud father! Excellent resource! Thanks for sharing!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! I have never visited the CSEFEL website. What a fabulous resource! How come I never knew this existed? I am continually talking to families and my teaching team about the fundamental of social and emotional development and this website offers FREE downloadable training materials. What a find! Thank you for sharing.
