The Ohio Statewide Family Engagement Center Announces New Website

The Center on Education and Training for Employment (CETE), within The College of Education and Human Ecology at The Ohio State University announces the new Ohio Statewide Family Engagement Center website. The website offers visitors resources for building strong connections between home and school.

This newly designed website offers quick and easy access to essential information and tools offering a comprehensive understanding of how families, schools, and communities can work together to ensure that all children have the opportunity to succeed.

The new website has a clean uncluttered design, modern functionality and enhanced rich content. The focus is on the center’s mission to inspire and equip schools, community organizations, and families to work together by providing useful information and training on high-impact family engagement practices. The new website is located at ohiofamiliesengage.osu.edu.

“John Glenn did not launch into space on his own. He was part of a team of astronauts, engineers, mathematicians, and physicists. Just like a space launch, families, schools and communities need to work together consistently for children’s learning to take off. We want to be fuel for these partnerships from preschool through graduation so that, in the end, teachers, students, and their families will all benefit”, says Dr. Barbara Boone, Director of the Ohio Statewide Family Engagement Center.

The Center’s interactive website will be updated on a regular basis with new assets, examples from families and schools of family engagement practices, webinars, research reports, and other resources. This site will be a valuable tool for all Ohioans who are committed to working together for the success of each and every child.

Upcoming Young Entrepreneur Pitch (YEP)! Curriculum Trainings Available – Athens and Toledo

Add Some Sizzle to Your Program with Young Entrepreneur Pitch (YEP)!

Programs that piloted the free K-12 Young Entrepreneur Pitch curriculum this summer said it “provided amazing learning opportunities,” was a “thorough curriculum,” that “pushed creativity,” and was “a really good program.”

Teaching kids about entrepreneurship helps them learn and practice 21^st and 22^nd century skills including communication and problem solving, provides a new lens through which to view the future, and is something they enjoy. Some experts believe entrepreneurship is an essential skill that needs to be added to current educational initiatives.

Students who participated in YEP programs this summer said they liked the program because: “it gave me confidence,” “help prepare for the future,” “I get to make my own idea,” “it was interesting,“ and “I liked talking with the judges.”

Program partners, funders, schools and their business advisory councils, and others can serve as student mentors, host field trips, guest speakers, pitch contest judges or donate pitch contest prizes.

The Ohio Afterschool Network, in partnership with the Young Entrepreneur Institute, is hosting two free 75-minute trainings:
