Заключительный этап дискуссии за обедом

Hear from a panel of fathers, intentional about being engaged in their children's development and learning. In many systems, like education and early learning, fathers are considered secondary parents. Fathers should feel empowered to confidently participate in conversations with educators, counselors, and academic administrators regarding their children's behaviors, as well as the development of their scholastic successes. According to the National Fatherhood Initiative (NFI) in Father Facts 8, when the fathers are present in a healthy and responsible way, children have better academic outcomes, appropriate behaviors, and teen pregnancy decreases by 7x's. This session will provide an opportunity for the panelists to discuss what they wish teachers knew and how teachers can best engage fathers in various methods of communication.
