Shalonda Tillman, Self-eSTEM Board Member, Champions Parent-Teacher Collaboration at National Conference

In today’s rapidly evolving educational landscape, fostering strong partnerships between parents and teachers is more crucial than ever, especially in STEM fields. At the 1st Annual National Conference: Parents/Teachers As Education Co-Navigators, Shalonda Tillman, Self-eSTEM Board Member and curriculum developer and a dedicated first-grade teacher at Madison Park Academy, shared her insights on building these vital connections to enhance student success.​

During the conference, Shalonda highlighted the significance of collaborative strategies between parents and educators. In alignment with the conference breakout groups, she emphasized that when parents and teachers work as co-navigators, they can better address the unique needs of each student, fostering an environment where children feel supported both at home and in school. This partnership is especially vital in STEM education, where early exposure and encouragement can ignite a lifelong passion for science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.​

Shalonda’s insights resonate deeply with Self-eSTEM’s mission to break barriers and create pathways for underrepresented communities in STEM. By championing parent-teacher collaboration, she exemplifies how unified efforts can lead to transformative educational experiences for students.​
