FREE "CONNECT FOR SUCCESS" TOOLKIT IS AVAILABLE
"Connect for Success: Building a Teacher, Parent, Teen Alliance," funded
by MetLife Foundation, is designed to help new teachers, especially
those in high poverty middle and high schools, build partnerships with
parents.
This tollkit offers strategies and tools to help teachers break down
barriers to parent participation, establish open, two-way communication
with parents, and mobilize the resources parents bring to the education
of their children. The toolkit also shows how this alliance can help
parents improve their children's academic future while improving
teachers' day-to-day practice and job satisfaction.

Dear Colleagues:
A recent article in the Detroit Free Press focused on teens and oral sex and
statutory rape. The article followed a front page article about a 14 year
old girl who claims to have had sex with 20 older boys and kept a diary of
her contacts.
Both Diane Waggoner, who is in charge of Health Education in Oakland County,
Michigan, and I tried to assist the writer with as much information as we
could.
The Free Press received a great deal of flack for publishing an excerpt of
the girl's diary on its front page -- so this article was to be thoughtful
and helpful. You'll note that Lloyd Kolbe is featured. Oakland County is
the second most wealthy county in the nation. The Oakland County Prosecutor
has now pledged to use his officers to go into our schools and talk to
students about statutory rape. I offfered my book, Healthy Teens: Facing
the Challenges of Young Lives, to his office at a reduced price. Let's hope
he responds.
You need to move fairly quickly if you want to access the Free Press article,
"Casual sex becomes subject for middle schoolers" by Marsha Low.
