CONFERENCE OVERVIEW

Whether entering kindergarten or college, an individual’s school readiness is determined by the environment in which he or she lives and grows. School readiness includes the preparation of the student, the school’s readiness for children, and the family support system for development. These three factors, along with strong cognitive, numeracy, and literacy skills, have been linked with better school outcomes.

EARLY STRATEGIES, INTERVENTIONS, AND OPPORTUNITIES TO STRENGTHEN ACADEMIC READINESS

Children who begin school without being ready may be at a considerable disadvantage. Failure can result in long-term outcomes in adulthood, while experiencing success can positively impact confidence, conduct, and attitude. Early interventions with learners from all backgrounds are vital for developing youth’s skills and preparing them for advanced education opportunities in later school years. This series seeks to prepare children early for academic content and life success.

HOW PARENTS CAN INCREASE THEIR CHILDREN’S ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE AND ACHIEVEMENT

Every parent wants their child to thrive in school. Yet, some students receive grades that do not reflect their true learning ability. Even the brightest students can find themselves underachieving. Making good grades doesn’t happen on its own. Yet, there are effective strategies that help parents take action to improve their children’s academic performance.

MAXIMIZING COLLEGE AND CAREER READINESS THROUGH PARENTAL SUPPORT

Understanding the significance of a college degree for individuals and society, legislators and educators are motivated to solidify the pathway to college beyond acceptance. College readiness is the process between choices, actions, and beliefs surrounded by various opportunities at the school level. Parents play a vital role in this process and in successfully navigating the pathways to and through college.

TECHNOLOGY, AI, AND ONLINE LEARNING: CHARACTERISTICS LEADING TO STUDENT SUCCESS

With the rapid growth of technology, the ways people learn and acquire knowledge have been transformed. Online and blended education has increasingly become prevalent today, as many students choose to undertake this form of learning. Students with parental guidance need to manage their emotions, motivation, and engagement to successfully learn in online education.
