PROFESSIONAL LEARNING

“The breadth of experience and knowledge that Michele Brooks brings to the series is beyond compare. She’s been there and done that. Her insights and tools are invaluable to anyone hoping to create or improve parent/caregiver engagement in their schools. And then, she supplements that with on-the-ground examples of work being done in school districts. I learned so much that I will carry forward in supporting school and home as they build collaborative practices.”
