| The KPIRC has developed a series of Brown Bag Presentations that will help schools begin a dialogue with parents on how they can be involved in their children's education. Each "Brown Bag" is focused on a different topic and contains several handouts that you can reproduce or that are readily available for free from the federal government. We have also included "Talking Points" that will assist you in facilitating a discussion with parents on ways they can help their children to be successful in school. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
