Parent Voices in Action: The SEPAG Experience
RESOURCE DESCRIPTION
Join a virtual panel of SEPAG parent/caregiver leaders as they share how their groups are making an impact! Parents and educators will hear real strategies for district collaboration, ways to reach and engage the parent community, and honest reflections on what's worked... and what hasn't.
Join The BRIDGE Initiative for drop-in office hours to provide support to New Jersey's SEPAG groups! Office hours are held virtually on the first Thursday and third Monday of each month during the school year. These virtual sessions are open to parent leaders, district liaisons, and other SEPAG representatives. Drop in anytime during the hour to collaborate and get real work done. The space is informal and interactive; you can ask questions, brainstorm ideas, think through plans, or create materials together with us in real time.
During office hours, we can help you:
Plan meeting topics, locate guest speakers, or develop agendas
Create outreach materials (flyers, newsletters, or social media posts)
Write or review emails, updates, or agendas to share info with your district
Set up or organize a Facebook group, mailing list, or webpage for your SEPAG
Design a survey to gather input, or analyze/understand the results
...and more - we're here to help!
Office Hours are facilitated by team members from The BRIDGE Initiative along with community members from the Parent Engagement Working Group.
