A weekly look at father involvement in education through the Watch D.O.G.S. program of the National Center for Fathering.
This past week, a letter was posted on the Watch D.O.G.S. Facebook page that went semi-viral. Michael Frye of Taylorsville, Kentucky put into words what so many of us feel about the Watch D.O.G.S. program. Join us as we hear Michael’s words and his thoughts about why he felt strong enough to write these touching words about his family and their school.
Also joining us this week will be Rick Shaw of Awareity.com. Rick will talk about school safety.
Awareity’s Founder and CEO, Rick Shaw has over 27 years of experience with managing risks, technology, processes, clients and people at both large and small organizations. In addition to Rick’s experiences, hundreds of case studies, incidents and failures have played a key part in Rick’s vision and the development of Awareity’s unique and forward thinking tools and services that focus on People and Processes rather than systems and technology.
Rick has been a speaker at several government, financial and educational conferences as well as multiple industry association meetings. Rick has also been part of the Schools of Banking for the past several years helping bankers to better understand managing risks and challenges in a changing world.
