Thank you for your interest in the 2011 Statewide Parental Involvement Conference, Parental Involvement: Promise & Progress.
This conference will benefit both school staff and parents. Educators will receive tips and guidance on improving relationships with
parents as well as training on rules and regulations. Parents will receive resources and strategies for improving parental involvement

topics ranging from NCLB guidelines to how parents can become more involved in the education of their child.
We appreciate the support and leadership the Title I Statewide School Support/Parental Involvement Initiative at Region 16 Education
Service Center has provided in the area of parental involvement. Under the leadership of ESC Executive Director John Bass and
Initiative Coordinator Terri Stafford, the Initiative continues to partner with the Agency and educators throughout the state, spreading
the word about the legal requirements for parental involvement, as well as the importance of involving parents in our schools.
Please join us in Dallas, December 8-10, 2011, for what promises to be a rewarding experience, leaving you eager to return to your

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
You are invited to participate in the 2011 Statewide Parental Involvement Conference, December 8-10, 2011, at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel
in Dallas. The conference will provide opportunities for educators, parents, and community leaders to learn strategies for empowering all
stakeholders to increase student achievement and to meet the required mandates of the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act. The conference,
Promise & Progress, intends to build the capacity of all the participants in the parental involvement arena. If no child is to be left
behind, it is paramount that we all work together to “perserve the promise and promote the progress” for all our students.
The major goal of this conference is to provide a forum for dialogue on NCLB issues in parental involvement among administrators,
parents, teachers, federal program directors, ESC personnel, and community leaders with interest in improving teaching and learning.
Presentations and workshops will probe the issues inherent in the NCLB legislation, particularly as they relate to parental
involvement. The relationship between NCLB and student achievement will be the common thread among the conference’s diverse
general and concurrent sessions.
TEA staff will offer multiple concurrent sessions that will give the latest NCLB requirements and legislative updates in parentalinvolvement. The top parental involvement practitioners from around the state will offer presentations demonstrating evidence based
research strategies and best practices that will result in increased parental involvement, as well as higher achievement for all students.
There will also be a series of workshops provided in Spanish and translators will be provided at all of the general sessions.
Come and join your friends and colleagues in Dallas on December 8-10, 2011. Mail or fax the enclosed registration form today,
or use our online registration at www.esc16.net. We look forward to seeing you at the 2011 Statewide Parental Involvement Conference!
