Three-Day Teachers’ Seminar PIQE provides a seminar to train teachers and administrators in its own best practices, so that they can take PIQE’s proven programs to their community. During this three-day intensive sessions, PIQE trains teachers to increase the effectiveness of parent involvement in their own educational system. The program covers topics including culturally relevant parent recruitment strategies, the selection and training of recruiters, the selection and training of facilitators, how to develop curricula through effective communication with parents, and how to measure program outcomes. Part of the program is devoted to training teachers and school administrators on how to be effective when dealing with parents from diverse socio-economic and cultural backgrounds. Contents of this training were designed in collaboration with the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), and include national research on parent involvement best practices. Topics include obstacles to parent involvement; language and cultural differences; research supporting teachers’ efforts; and research supporting parents’ efforts. This program provides ideal “do it yourself” parental engagement training in areas where PIQE does not have a presence.
