Open class starting Tuesday April 22nd.
Do you have a child in Seattle Public Schools (SPS), or will you have one soon and want to learn more about navigating the district, engaging with your child’s school, and supporting your child during their K-12 experience? Maybe you are also someone who could be a “family connector” and share what you learn with other families in your school?
Sign up for the online Family Connectors University class this spring! This 2-unit, 10-week class will be facilitated by North Seattle College Parent Education Instructor Lea Evans, and SPS Family Engagement and Partnerships staff Fa’izah Bradford.
The first session for spring is Tuesday, April 22 at 6:30pm via Zoom. We aim to support you in supporting your student and always tailor the class topics to the interests of the group, so we don’t have a set list of topics yet. To give you an idea, here are some topics we’ve covered recently:
- Introduction to being a family connector
- Navigating school systems and advocating for your child
- Building belonging and trust at your child’s school
- Talking to kids about race and ability
- Special Education at SPS
- Social Emotional Learning at SPS
- Supporting our children’s Executive Functions
- Motivation and building resilience
- Social Emotional Learning at home
