Parents describe personal growth and leadership after district workshops
Summary
Several parents said district workshops and facilitator support helped them gain skills and confidence; one parent said she became a statewide parent representative after participating in local programs.
Parents used the listening session to describe how district workshops and facilitator support led to personal growth and new leadership roles.
"Ahora soy representante a nivel estatal," one parent said, describing a path from attending district workshops to representing parents at a wider level. Speakers described how participating in workshops — including leadership institutes and CAFE sessions — helped them learn, practice and then support other families in their schools. A parent noted that seeing other parents’ experiences and hearing success stories motivates new participants to stay involved.
Board members thanked the parents for sharing their stories and said the district wants to capture and document those qualitative successes as part of ongoing program evaluation.
