Committee Goals

The Parent Engagement Committee seeks to promote parent engagement in education and child welfare by building partnerships with organizations and agencies in Alaska.  We also work to keep Alaska PTA Board members and the membership of local PTA units aware of parent engagement opportunities that benefit Alaskan youth and communities.
 
To achieve our goals we have identified the following focus areas for 2015-2016:

  • Conduct a statewide survey effort to learn from parents and educators what they value about the PTA’s contributions in Alaska and how we can best improve our efforts.

  • Have a series of discussions with other organizations and agencies who work on education and family welfare efforts in Alaska to explore potential partnership opportunities.

  • Collaborate with other Alaska PTA Committees to build brand recognition for Alaska PTA as advocates for public education and general child welfare in Alaska.
