| Parent Efficacy Trainer of Trainer (ToT) Model |
The Parent Efficacy Sets the foundation for dramatic improvement in student outcomes. The training investigates the Psychology of Performance (the study of how and why people learn and grow); an underlying set of personality and character traits that will support growth, and the phenomenon of resistance to change (key to understanding why so many change initiatives fail to impact student achievement). We are partnering with parent leaders to develop, then deliver Efficacy concepts and tools to other parents and families, preparing families to be active partners in our children’s education. |
