Parent Conferences with the Department of Education
The New York City Coalition for Educational Justice in partnership with the NYC Department of Education held three amazing parent conferences on May 3rd; May 31st and June 7th. Over 750 parents attended workshops and connected with fellow parent leaders. Photos from the conferences can be found here. Workshops included topics such as increasing parent participation and creating community schools through partnerships. In an unprecedented collaboration, CEJ parents were involved in the planning every aspect of the conference as well as co-facilitating all of the workshops with Department of Education staff. This was a great first step in creating a sustainable district-family partnership to strengthen schools and raise student achievement. Below you will find some of the resources from the conferences:
