Getting Male Role Models Involved in Our Children’s Education

Altorice and his guests will explore how to overcome the many barriers to fathers’ participation in their children’s education such as:

·       The belief that a child's education is a mother's responsibility

·       A tendency for schools to communicate primarily with mothers

·       Divorced or separated mothers having sole custody of children

·       Fathers' demanding work schedules

·       A failure to recognize the importance of becoming involved

·       Literacy and language difficulties
