Beyond Engagement: Parents as Partners in Students Rights

Every teacher knows family engagement is critical to success for a student, classroom, and school year. But how do we move from talking about parents, to talking with them, and how do we ensure students are truly centered in partnerships with families? In this episode, we sit down with Keri Rodrigues, the Co-Founder and Founding President of the National Parents Union for a conversation on how teachers and parents can better align to cut through conflict and focus where our unified energy is truly needed: to protect students’ rights. Whether you are a parent, teacher, both, or neither - Keri offers critical insight into taping parents as experts in the area they know best: their children. Join us for a conversation that ranges from student-centered advocacy, the TikTok teacher/parent discourse, and the unified power of parent and teacher partnerships.
