Deputy Secretary of Education Tony Miller Recognizes the Importance of Parents at Maryland School

On September 22, Deputy Secretary of Education Tony Miller visited Viers Mill Elementary School in Silver Spring, Md., to recognize and celebrate the importance of parental involvement in education. Miller joined representatives from the Montgomery County Public Schools for a tour of classrooms and spoke to more than 300 local parents and children who gathered for the school’s first "Family Learning Night" of the academic year.

This "Family Learning Night" is similar to the parents' Math workshops that I conduct every year for our students' parents. The parents' Math workshops help parents to experience how their student learn in the school. They also refresh their Math concepts and skills to enable them to assist their child with their homework assignment.
Last year, I conducted a series of Math workshops for parents, together with their child. I received very appreciative comments from the participants. They recommend that more Math parents' workshops be conducted to help students achieve more academic success.
