#047 Middle Schools and Watch D.O.G.S.

A weekly look at father involvement in education through the Watch D.O.G.S. program of the National Center for Fathering.

Each year, a larger number of middle schools are bringing on the Watch D.O.G.S. program. This week, we will look at the unique aspects of keeping dads involved in the lives of "tweens". We will hear from Top Dog Coordinators from across the country who have made the Watch D.O.G.S. program "cool in the middle school".

Dads of Great Students is a national program currently operating in 47 states, D.C., Puerto Rico, Mexico and even China. Over 3000 schools utilize the fathers and father figures within their own community to enhance the environment and safety of their schools.

Watch D.O.G.S. National Coordinator Keith Schumacher is the host of the show. Senior National Program Developer Chris Danenhauer co-hosts and they are regularly joined by Watch D.O.G.S. Executive Director Eric Snow.
