Parent involvement is critical in helping students and schools achieve academic success. There is shared accountability between schools and parents for student achievement. Research shows that parent involvement enhances student self-efficacy and success.
A major challenge for many schools is minimum parent involvement. Being a parent and especially a single parent is challenging and stressful. Parents who are unsure of their skills and abilities lack motivation, confidence and self-efficacy for involvement.
We embrace the notion that parents have far greater potential and their potential is dictated by what they think. This is why we have developed a new and powerful program that teaches parents to believe that they have the power and the ability to reach their goals and learn to become a partner with teachers and participate in school activities to help their children learn and succeed.
PARENTS WILL:
Learn strategies that enhance personal and educational effectiveness
Utilize mental technology strategies to enhance self-efficacy and expand comfort zones
Become more involved in child’s education and connect with teachers and school personnel
Develop a deeper sense of trust and bond with school instructors and administrators
Feel like a partner in their child’s education
Become more motivated to learn
WAKE UP! IT’S TIME TO TEACH A NEW WAY!
A major challenge facing communities and educators across the country is finding ways to increase the graduation rate of students. Students are dropping out of school in greater numbers. Public schools and its traditional teaching methods have not met the needs of many students. Sadly, those who dropout, will not able to participate in living the American Dream and many will become socially, politically and economically obsolete.
The New Millennium Institute believes that it is time to teach a new way! We embrace the notion that students have far greater potential than they use but limit themselves by their self-handicapping thoughts which sabotages self-efficacy and academic success.
This is why we have developed a new and powerful program that helps students, and educators to recognize self-handicapping behaviors and provide mental technology rooted in cognitive science that help students enhance academic potential by helping them to understand who they are and what they want to become and how to get there.
Imagine a program where learners:
Boost academic achievement
Improve student and teacher engagement
Reduce absences
Fewer disruptive behaviors
Become more competent in their abilities and future
Overcome self-handicapping behaviors
Take responsibility for their behavior
Have a goal-oriented, systematic process that enhances self-efficacy
Incorporate mental technology to change and improve their lives
