The hallmarks of All In for Ag Education Week are clear: broadening access to agriculture education, supporting educators, and connecting agriculture to real-life skills.
While our public schools cannot eliminate every obstacle rural poverty creates, targeted strategies and strong community partnerships can help bridge critical gaps for students and families.
Together with our instructional supervisors, we are opening the door for teachers who aspire to become principals, supervisors, and administrators to begin preparing for that next step in their careers.
The Family Friendly Schools initiative has shown us what’s possible, and we’re not done yet.
As a Title I school, Rosenwald Dunbar Elementary School (Jessamine County) is proud of its diverse population and is committed to meeting the needs of students from a variety of cultural and economic backgrounds.
To begin our (Family Friendly Schools) work, we formed a committee of stakeholders that represented our population. We sought out parents to join the partnership who were from diverse populations represented in our school.
Over the past school year, our school has undertaken a deeply meaningful journey to strengthen the partnership between home and school by becoming certified as a Family Friendly School.
The schools in our district are all Title I schools and we are constantly working on ways that we can improve to increase our parent and family involvement and engagement.
If you want to build a partnership with parents, you must begin with parent input, so we started there.
