Program Advocacy: Parent Night with a Purpose
Mitchell, Murray; Bott, Timothy
Journal of Physical Education, Recreation & Dance, v83 n5 p42-46 May-Jun 2012
Toward the beginning of each academic year in public school, parents are often invited to an evening meeting at school to learn more about what their children will be learning and doing and how they can contribute to creating a positive learning experience for their children. Cultivating support and earning respect from parents can help children learn and succeed in physical education, and parent night is a prime opportunity for program advocacy. The purpose of this article is to describe some of the negative presentations that should be avoided and offer some examples of more positive presentations to secure the support for, or at least avoid opposition to, current physical education programs in schools.
