The Male Parent Assisting Teachers Program
(M-PAT)
The Male Parent Assisting Teachers (M-PAT) is designed for those male parents/guardians and community members who are interested in volunteering in classrooms to assist teachers in the educational/instructional process. The Department of Family and Community Outreach provides a three-hour training workshop that introduces participants to the guidelines and strategies for working with students and assisting teachers in the classrooms. Male Parent Assisting Teachers (M-PAT) Training Workshops provides participants with:
· An overview of the purpose and goals of the Male Parent Assisting Teachers (M-PAT) Program in order to develop an understanding of expected outcomes.
· An explanation of school district policies, procedures, ethics, and laws in order to internalize guidelines regarding interactions between and among volunteers, students, and staff.
· Hands-on training modules designed to prepare them to work effectively in direct contact with students and staff in the classrooms and school building.
Upon completion of the workshop, participants will be certified as a volunteer classroom assistant and will be assigned to teachers who have specifically requested a volunteer for their classroom. Additionally, as a part of the training, participants will undergo fingerprinting and a background check which will be rendered at no cost to all participants. For additional information about The Male Parent Assisting Teachers program (M-PAT), contact Mr. Michael A. Robinson at (301) 925-2535 ext. 289 or a Parent Liaison at any neighborhood school.
First class will be held on December 13, 2008, from 9:00am to 12:30pm at
