The training will prepare teachers and family engagement specialists to:
- Understand the PTHV model and why it is effective.
- Be prepared to do both in-person home visits and virtual bridge visits.
- Develop action steps that include dates and plans to launch.
- Participants will have the opportunity to participate in two (2) follow-up community of practice sessions to network and support the work.
