About Parent University
Parent University is designed to
increase your K12 school parent’s participation by 100 percent. You can find
out what your parents want to know and offer it to them in a workshop or open
discussion. When you have active parents you are increasing each child's
potential for academic success. Do you have parent meeting and your
participation is not what you expected. Parent University is a new way to get
your parent to thinking about their child's future. In addition to the Parent
University workshops the parents can benefit from receiving copies of Dr.
Jones' books the Seven Secrets of How to Study, the Parents Ultimate Education
Guide and the Ultimate Scholarship Guide. Start your program today.
How to Start Your Own
Parent University
1. Designate a person on
staff to manage the implementation of the program. This person will also
register the people who attend the seminar.
2. Form a small group of
parents who will help to establish the Parent University. They will serve as
your advocates and contact other parents.
3. If you have room in
your school or school district establish a parent University resource center.
You have flexibility to decide what you want to put into the center. Having
computer access in the center may attract some parents.
4. Survey parents
regarding the topics that they would like to hear. Then compile a list of
topics that the parent suggest and offer workshops.
5. At the end of
workshops have a short survey to determine how parents are benefiting from the
workshop and other topics that they suggest.
6. You can purchase the
Parent’s Ultimate Education Guide and have a chapter by chapter discussion
about the topics in the book with your school’s parents. Some school Districts
purchase all three of my books to attract parents. The other two are the Seven
Secrets of How to Study and the Ultimate scholarship Guide at http://www.DrStephenJones.com.
(Title I supplemental Resource Books).
7. Offer seminars during
the evening on a day of the week and others on Saturday.

parents with all of the dates and topics,
