The purpose of this presentation is to provide immigrant parents the

opportunity to discuss some of the standards that parents must meet

in order to reach parental proficiency.

Provide for their children’s physical,

emotional and social needs

Overcome immigrant-

related challenges

Assume an “I can” attitude – victorious vs.

victim

Know that a quality education leads to a

“quality life”

Know the role they need to play in their children’s education

Have high academic expectation for their

children

Know that academic proficiency is the

result of commitment, focus,

feedback and strategy formulation

See “failure” as a source of information on how to get better

Establish a positive and productive

connection with their children’s teachers

Make reading a “life style”

Make homework part of the daily routine

and not a “battle field”

Build a strong character in their

children’s life
