Dorchester School District Four

Congratulations to our first cohort of Parent Leadership Partners in Dorchester School District Four! Our parents participated in an eight-week course facilitated by Chaquilla Green (Parent and Family Engagement Coordinator) and Dr. Robyn Mixon (Transition Specialist). The course focused on increasing and strengthening parental engagement within our school community. “Parents” included any adult serving as the primary caretaker or guardian of a student. The goals of the program were to: Increase parents’ capacity to advocate for their children’s educational needs, as well as for school improvement for all students Increase parents’ awareness of available tools and resources beneficial to them and their children PLP sessions were built around seven research-based modules developed by Yasha Jones Becton, Ed.D. The modules were incorporated into a parent workbook covering topics related to leadership skill development, navigating the education system, and strategies for supporting their children's learning and development.
