A Parent Forum can aim to answer some or all of these questions. The most exciting and informative sessions are those in which students play a large role. Students can enact role plays, form expert panels and answer parents' questions, discuss scenarios with parents, facilitate discussions within groups of parents. Parents find the participation of students among the most powerful aspect of Parent Forums. They will attend more readily if students are involved.
Students are usually eager to participate but preparation is essential.
