District Comes Back to “I Care” |
 After implementing “I Care” successfully for 12 years in eight schools, the Choctaw Tribal Schools in Choctaw, Mississippi decided that a change was needed and implemented another parenting program during the 2011-2012 school term. Based on feedback from parents, teachers, and the administration, the new parenting program is not working out and they will be returning to the “I Care” Positive Parenting Program in the fall of 2012. Welcome back! “I Care” Positive Parenting Character Curricula are family-focused and provide consistency among the home, school, community, core curriculum, and provide assessments for measurable results. “I Care” increases student achievement. |
