About

Education experts speak of six types of parent involvement. Welcome to the Seventh Type.

My name is Mike Oboryshko, and this is an education blog based in Delaware. I have two children in the Red Clay Consolidated School District, with the youngest in third grade. So I expect to be doing this for a while.

Feel free to contact me at mike01@seventhtype.com.

Like most of us, my parent involvement began around an issue that affected my child, but then began expanding to other issues. For now, I am focused on issues of technology and parent involvement.

It is the nature of parent involvement that most of my experience is limited to my home district. So if you have information to share from other districts, please feel free to comment here.

The market for opinion-oriented education blogs seems to be saturated at the moment. I hope to rely on facts, with a preference for primary documents. I’d like parents as well as educators to feel comfortable posting here and sharing their experiences and information.
