Dr. Denise Pope, Ph.D.

Join us Tuesday, November 16, 7:00 p.m. at the Lark Theater as we welcome Dr. Denise Pope, Ph.D. This lecture will promote discussion on practical solutions for the problems presented in the recent documentary "Race to Nowhere." Parent and school expectations can interfere with your child's development. Dr. Pope will highlight the parent, student, and teacher "traps" that occur in and out of the classroom, and emphasize positive strategies to promote constructive home and school environments. This thought-provoking presentation is a must for parents seeking a healthy balance between academic achievement and personal fulfillment for their children.
