The Whole Child Podcast - www.wholechildeducation.org
In this episode of the Whole Child Podcast, we examine research that overwhelmingly reinforces the need for family engagement, practices that create and sustain meaningful involvement, policies that can bring about systemic change, and barriers that we must overcome to achieve this vision.  You will hear from Heidi Rosenberg, Research Analyst at the Harvard Family Research Project, Sheila Jackson, Director of the Department of School Improvement for Prince George County (MD) Public Schools, and our own Trise Moore, Family and Community Partnership Director for the Federal Way Public Schools.


Atomic Learning - www.AtomicLearning.com
Atomic Learning is the Federal Way School District's online resource for software training.  AL is available to our students and their families in school and at home throughout the school year.  AL's innovative approach to software training focuses on answering common questions encountered when learning and using software.  How do you cut and paste in Word?  How do you add animation to a Power Point slide?  How do you crop a photo in PhotoShop Elements?  Just ask AL.

Go to www.AtomicLearning.com and log in with the user name fwparent and password atomic.  Type your question in the search box and click on Go!  An answer will be provided in the form of a one to three minute tutorial movie.

Our school is dedicated to providing the highest quality technology resources available in order to prepare our students for their future.  We want you to have the resources to help your child with school work, and while you're at it, you can use Atomic Learning to learn about software applications that interest you.
