Parents and teachers are partners in safeguarding children’s well-being

The Saturday morning session focused on working together to make sure all children have opportunities to learn and thrive in environments that are safe, healthy and supportive—not political battlefields. Delegates heard from National PTA Executive Director Nathan Monell on how to build bridges between families and teachers, and from AFT President Randi Weingarten and community activists on the AFT’s new Powerful Partnerships Institute to support affiliates’ parent and community engagement programs.
