Title I Parent Home-School Facilitator
We envision the home-school facilitator providing services that will radiate out to benefit our families in other ways. For example, when the facilitator meets with a current Title I parent in the home, younger siblings may also benefit from what is modeled. The parent will be better equipped to support school readiness for the younger siblings. Also, the facilitator position will assist us to develop relationships and forge pathways to segments of the community that we are currently having trouble reaching for other purposes.
