All Title schools may employ a parent coordinator. This is a decision made by that schools leadership team. Parent Coordinators work 10 hours per week; 40 hours per month at the rate of $13.00 per hour. Parent Educators, on the other hand, are certified teachers and are paid accordingly. As you can see the funding source for the parent coordinators’ salary is the 1% set-a-Side funds which are designated in each Title schools’ budget.

Roles and Responsibilities of Parent Educators /Parent Coordinators To ensure that the mandates regarding Parental engagement in the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 are executed in the schools. Work collaboratively with the administration, leadership team, and community stakeholders in supporting and enhancing the Parental engagement Program for each school. Primary Goal: To empower parents with the information to assist their students in improving their academic achievement. When parent coordinators are hired, the expectations, roles and responsibilities are explained to them.

SCHOOL PARENT COORDINATOR GUIDELINES Goals: The School Parent Coordinator works with the principal or designee to: create a welcoming school environment for parents. address parent issues and concerns. conduct outreach to engage parents in their children’s education. implement each school’s parent engagement plan. empower parents to aid and strengthen parenting skills. Objectives: Creates outreach materials for parents (e.g., flyers about activities, school calendar of events Acts as a liaison between teachers and parents. Promotes the school’s parent engagement program Become a visible role model that will encourage others to become partners in their children’s education Guidelines for parent coordinators were established so there would be no misunderstanding as to what would be required of a parent coordinator.

School Parent Coordinator Guidelines, con’t While under contract hours with Federal Programs, a Parent Coordinator cannot: work as an office aide (answering phones, handling attendance, etc.) handle bus duty serve as school security in any capacity at all serve as a disciplinarian in any capacity at all handle lunch duty work directly with the students in any capacity supervise students in any capacity run personal errands for principal or other school staff substitute teach (not while under Federal Programs contract hours as a parent coordinator) attend or participate in any PTA/PTO related activity as a Parent Coordinator representing Federal Programs Title I.

Federal Programs’ Workshop (Mandatory Attendance) These are the required trainings for the parent coordinators. They have the flexibility of organizing other parent workshops that they would like, with the understanding that they are still limited to working only 40 hours per month. The Tool Kits were developed by the Parent Engagement Team to offer structure and continuity. The Tool Kits include everything a parent coordinator would need in delivering a workshop, (i.e. the flyer, the announcement, and the sign in sheet.)

Parental Engagement Workshops Workshops are scheduled for parents based on the results from an interest survey which is completed at the beginning of each school year. Parent Coordinators have several, Title I mandatory workshops which must be held. Other workshops are scheduled in collaboration with the principal. Parent Requested Workshops have included; Bullying Technology Attendance Career Planning and Job Preparation Test Taking Preparations Family Reading and Math Night Library Night Kitchen Math These are just several of the titles of workshops which have been offered to parents. Parent Coordinators understand that workshops must be ones that will aid their parents in assisting the students in successful academic achievement.

Science workshops were also offered. Technology workshops were presented by our own Technology Specialists, as well as, community tech specialist and Pearson. In the past, parent workshops were offered via ETV and using the several schools’ Distance Learning (DL)Equipment. The presenter would be in the studio at ETV and DL would be set up at several schools. Attendance was great, because not only could parents attend the workshops in person, but they could also view the presentation again on ETV at a scheduled time.
