NCLA Problem of Practice:
Project Description
Coker Wimberly Community Connection
Description of the intervention implemented:
To increase parental involvement in school functions, my school will create the Coker Wimberly Community Connection to host educational programs for parents. The sessions will be hosted in the spring of 2018 on the school site. The school will partner with the Down East Partnership for Children to gain community partners willing to serve as instructors. There will be a course catalog of educational events that are targeted based upon survey data. The courses will be offered twice each semester at varying times to accommodate parent schedules.
Potential courses to be offered :
Introduction to checking and savings accounts
Nutritious meals on a budget
Engaging your family in conversations
What are the intended outcomes?
The Coker Wimberly Community Connection will increase parental involvement in school functions by offering targeted educational courses in response to survey results and input from the local support agency The Down East Partnership for children. The increased parent involvement in school functions will positively impact school culture by increasing communitypartnerships, and the number of parents in attendance at school functions.
