These kits help you motivate parents to become effectively involved in the effort. Developed through hundreds of hours of research and editing directed by Dr. John Wherry, President of The Parent Institute—and featuring The Parent Institute staff's personal audio and video narration—these kits make a persuasive case for parent involvement, motivate parents to get involved and are bursting with practical ideas parents can use at home to boost student achievement and standardized test success, all drawn from the Institute's 20+ years of extensive research and experience.
