Parent Summit June 10, 2010
Making Connections:
Parent Involvement
Initiatives at CTC
Parents were the focal point of the first Parent Summit held at CTC. Their participation is integral to the success of our school programming.
Parents created four stations at the conference that showed examples of their work in book clubs, college bound initiatives, art and culture and community of learners workshops. They were also part of a Parent Panel which fielded questions on what works and why.
Discover how our approach has developed in twenty years of working directly with parents. For more information click here.
