We have also included a special track highlighting Diversity and Inclusion workshops. Days and times are listed in the next section. Council and District F15 The Role of Council and District Board Members Part 1 – It’s different outside of the unit! Understand your new role as a council/district leader in a larger community. Required officer positions will be covered. You are an important link in the PTA structure, and there are resources and tools to help you support your members. Learn how to be effective! S62 The Role of Council and District Board Members Part 2 – As a follow-up to Part 1, we’ll review the highlights of Advanced Leadership Tools. Providing training is your responsibility. It’s easy if you use our pre-packaged Leadership Development Presentations. You’ll leave a trained leader equipped to deal with any number of situations. F58 Finance for Councils and Districts Part 1 – Learn how to support unit financial officers; collect and review unit financial documents; remit per capita and insurance; and review state reports.

S67 Advanced Reflections for Council and District Coordinators Beyond the basics – this Reflections workshop will provide participants with a better understanding of the process for submitting Reflections entries to the next level. Learn more about the documentation required to submit Reflections on to District or State and get your questions answered about the finer points of the program. Diversity and Inclusion T02 Building Community Unity Join in a thought-provoking discussion and assessment on creating a rich and diverse PTA. Create true community unity across all cultures. It draws on our own experiences, stereotypes and perceptions. Its purpose is to help create enriched understanding and relationships within PTA and the larger community. F59 Improving School Breakfast Programs: A Winning Strategy for All! Successful school breakfast programs lead to learning, nutritional, health, behavioral and financial benefits. Yet, most California students don’t eat school breakfasts. Learn about the statewide BreakfastFirst Campaign, State PTA’s role as co-sponsor, and how parents can help ensure every student starts the school day well-nourished and ready to learn! F63 Inspiring Volunteers and Cultivating Parent Involvement Volunteering is one of the most important things you can do for children. Come and learn effective and innovative strategies for volunteering from representatives of the Riverside County Office of Education, and the Twenty-Third District PTA Parent Involvement Team. You will learn how to use the Parents Empowering Parents manual, and other PTA resources to reach out and make a difference in your school community. S05 Promising Practices for English Language Learners This workshop will present data and strategies from school districts on successful elementary programs for English Language Learners. The presenters will describe their programs, the research behind the program designs, and their results. New research and recommendations for serving secondary English learners will also be shared. S12 How To Attract Volunteers Need we say more? What have you missed? Is this a problem for your PTA? We’ll give you some food for thought on how to establish, build and empower your volunteer network. S53 Including Everyone in the PTA Are you interested in building a more diverse and inclusive PTA representative of all the children in your school community? This workshop explores methods you can use to achieve your aims. You will leave with strategies to increase membership and diversity within your association’s leadership. S55 Making Sense: A Parent’s Guide to Middle School Students A look at the 3 B’s (body, brain and behavior) of young adolescents. Learn why they are all about appearance; why they are so emotional; and why they willingly take risks. Learn how to better communicate with them, and what research says is the best way to help them succeed in school. S65 Making Diversity Everyone’s Business Gather ideas for building a diverse PTA while increasing your PTA membership … beyond the usual suspects! Expand your ideas about who can be members of PTA. Learn how PTA is relevant for each stakeholder group. S66 Building Male Leadership in PTA Men are needed for PTA. Now is the time to move beyond just being a member and step up into a leadership role. More men are getting involved supporting their children’s education. This workshop will address, recognize and appreciate differences in leadership styles, and how to support men as they begin to get involved in leadership roles. 2011 California State PTA Convention — Registration Book 11
