CIP Parental Involvement
Partner Institution: North Carolina Argicultural and Technical State
University
Activity: Parent Workshop on Planning for Your Child's
Academic Future
Many parents are unprepared to give their child the kind of
assistance that will help them succeed. Planning for Your Child’s
Academic Future addressed an important component in a student’s
academic success—parental involvement.
Informed parents help to build and strengthen the pipeline between
secondary and postsecondary education. Through an interactive workshop,
parents received the opportunity to become better informed about how to
guide their children's education. Parents were given an overview of the
content of their child’s transcripts, participated in the
development of a successful four-year plan for high school courses, and
learned more about the calculators that are used in current courses in
mathematics.
During the workshop, parents had the opportunity to interact with
counselors and learn more about graduation requirements, as well as
other essential information that their children need to know to
successfully complete high school and transition to postsecondary
education.
