Parents on Board Video Libraries

Parents on Board Video Libraries
For Middle and Elementary School

Start the new year with parent involvement!
Parents want their children to succeed, but they aren't sure how they can help. Use the Parents on Board Video Library to show them what they can do at home for their children at school.

Separate versions are available for middle school and elementary school parents.

"This terrific series
gives parents the tools
they need to create a home environment that fosters learning and academic success."

-Video Librarian magazine, Nov/Dec 2001

Put these versatile videos to work
all year long.
They are brief—under 25 minutes—and leave plenty of time for discussion afterwards. Use them for:

transition to middle school
a first-day-of-school "celebration of learning"
open house
PTA meetings
parenting resource library
one-on-one counseling

The Parents on Board Video Libraries (by Michael H. Popkin, Ph.D.; Bettie B. Youngs, Ph.D., Ed.D.; and Jane M. Healy, Ph.D.) are available in 2 versions: elementary school and middle school.

Both versions offer entertaining scenes demonstrating common school-related challenges—and solutions. Each comes with discussion tips and a reproducible handout for parents to take home.

Video 1: "Preparing Your Child/Teen to Succeed in School"
- How to recognize and support a child's learning style
- How to set up a "school-smart" home
- How to encourage and motivate children to do their best
Video 2: "Encouraging Positive Behavior"
- What parents can do to promote cooperative behavior at school
- Effective, nonviolent methods of discipline
- How to work with their children's teachers to resolve conflict
Video 3: "Reinforcing Your Child's/Teen's Academic Skills"
- What helping children with homework really means (hint: it doesn't mean doing it for them!)
- How to be an effective coach
- Why it's important to do fun things together as well as work
