School and District Partnerships
Put your required Title I family engagement dollars toward proven results.
Parent Potential trains parents in four simple habits that meet Title I, Part A family engagement requirements. Built by a career principal and backed by California state testing data.
No commitment to talk. Most districts start with a call, then a small pilot.
This spending is already required and budgeted.
Under ESSA Section 1116, any LEA with a Title I, Part A allocation over $500,000 must reserve at least 1% for parent and family engagement: workshops, family literacy, and tools that involve families in learning.

Built for exactly what the law asks for
ESSA lists specific allowable uses for this set-aside. Here's how Parent Potential maps to each one.
Real state testing data, not internal claims
These routines come straight from the founder's own work as a school principal.

A simple path, not a procurement maze
Conversation
A short call about your engagement goals and Title I plan.
Small Pilot
One or two schools, with evaluation built in from day one.
Review Results
Participation data and family feedback, ready for your annual evaluation.
Scale
Expand district-wide once the pilot shows what you need.
From a principal, not a vendor
Parent Potential was built by a career educator who watched what actually moved outcomes at two very different schools. It wasn't a new curriculum. It was parents given a simple, confident way to be involved.
Common questions from district teams
Can this be purchased with Title I, Part A funds?
Yes. It's designed around the allowable uses in ESSA Section 1116 for the 1% family engagement set-aside. Please confirm specifics with your Title I coordinator, since details vary by state and district.
Do we need a district-wide commitment to start?
No. Most districts begin with a small pilot at one or two schools before considering a broader rollout.
Is this only for Title I schools?
It works for any school, but it's built specifically to help districts meet Title I family engagement requirements.
What's included in a pilot?
Grade-level card decks and notebooks for families, the free digital toolbox, and at least one live parent workshop, scoped to your pilot size.
Do you offer a full independent-study curriculum?
Yes. For families or schools that need a complete course of study, see our Independent Study Program.
Let's talk about your family engagement goals.
No commitment. Just a conversation about what your district needs and whether a small pilot makes sense.
Our 4 Habits
These practices allow you to dive right into any of the math and language standards in your grade level with effortless, bite-sized practice that builds skill fluency and confidence.
Modeling
Our most powerful habit. Grab a blank page, use our prompts, and show your child how to approach a new skill. This direct, stress-free connection is the fastest way to ensure grade-level mastery.
CarTalk
Turn your daily drive into a classroom. Use quick practice games to solidify math facts and phonics, prompt socratic reasoning, or use our SEL cards to help your child navigate friendships and emotions.
Listen and Write
Use these cards to supercharge reading skills. You say the sounds, words, or sentences, and your child writes them down—building the exact phonetic foundation they need to read with ease.
StoryTime
Whether at bedtime or on the weekend, elevate your reading routine. Our cards give you the exact questions to ask to build deep comprehension, ensuring your student is ready to lead classroom discussions.
Our Parent Toolkit
Includes a comprehensive deck of Learning Target cards for essential skills and real-world projects.
Includes an access code to our Digital Dashboard, with systems to track progress, video tutorials on the habits and parent resources to engage your student with ease. This includes digital tools that can generate math problems, texts and quizzes for the books they are reading.
Features the Innovation Notebook to capture creativity and insights. It includes two insert sections to help you monitor and celebrate:
Your Responsibility Data Tracker
This is a space for you and your child to track your progress throughout the year. Your goal is to fill in your checks each month for completing habit cards, projects and other family responsibilities you designate.
Celebrate Your Wins
At the end of the book, you’ll find a sticker puzzle. We recommend adding a sticker each time your student completes a project or practices a specific habit three times.
