Consider…

• The recruiter’s first contact with each family is very

important.

• This is when the recruiter determines whether children are

eligible for the MEP.

• This is also when the recruiter sets the tone for the home-

school relationship.

Ask participants to read the statement, then discuss their thoughts about the statement with their table groups.
Discussion could include why the statement is accurate or true, its importance, and what recruiters could or should do to support it.
Debrief with a whole group discussion. Encourage participants to record key points in their Outline (p. 2).
