Over the past year, PIC and the NH Dept. of Education have been discussing finding a way for educators, parents and others to share information about what works and what's needed for increasing family engagement in education. We expect to share substantive news on this before the summer is out. Stay tuned!
The New Hampshire Department of Education is proud to partner with the Parent Information Center to provide this resource. This website contains information to promote parent involvement and strong school-family-community partnerships. We cannot emphasize enough that learning begins at the birth of each New Hampshire child. As a child’s first teacher, the parent or guardian is critical in those early learning years of development in helping to build literacy skills, vocabulary, and most importantly igniting and nurturing the child’s innate curiosity and love for learning.
PIC is organizing the 2010 Parent Involvement Awards, with a ceremony in Concord on October 4, 2010. To qualify for the award, the nominee must have had a significant, positive impact on parent involvement in education during the 2009-2010 school year.
