Testimonials
Boosting parental involvement using this
curricular approach has increased test scores at
my school and has provided the documentation and
measures needed for federal audits. Principal
San Jose, California The I Care Program has
helped me to manage parental involvement better
in all my schools. The data each month tells me
and the school liaisons where help is
needed. Parent Coordinator Wilkesboro, North
Carolina Several principals in my district said
they have seen a positive change in the attitude
of teachers since we started implementing I
Care five years ago. So its not only impacting
students, but teachers as well. Parental
Involvement Coordinator Selma, Alabama
After the implementation of I Care was so
successful in one of my high schools, I knew it
would be successful in all 26 of my schools. Now
that we have implemented for two years, I still
feel strongly that I Care is supporting the
student academic improvements we are
achieving. Superintendent Albany, Georgia
