Presenter: Tom Capretta, BA, MPA, Family Engagement Project Coordinator with the Ohio Statewide Family Engagement Center

In this session, Thomas Capretta of the Ohio Statewide Family Engagement Center will guide participants through identifying the conditions that impact a family’s engagement in their child’s education and what we can do to maximize the way families are engaging and strategies to encourage additional forms of engagement. Participants will have an opportunity to work on applying this knowledge to real scenarios from their education programs while receiving feedback and collaborating with others.
