| Source: National PTA
CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - October 7, 2008) - National PTA unveils another online resource
for today's parent by introducing PTA Radio
-- an online radio show focused on education and family issues while
providing easy, real-life tips and information.
Anyone can listen to PTA Radio
on-demand and catch a quick show online at their leisure with the click of
a mouse. Show lengths range from 5 - 10 minutes and features interviews
with different national experts every other week.
The first series of shows focus on male involvement tips and highlight a
different partner of PTA's Men Organized to Raise Engagement (MORE)
alliance. The shows are hosted by Rae Pica, an author and international
education expert specializing in early childhood physical activity; and
Chuck Saylors, National PTA's first-ever male president-elect.
The inaugural PTA Radio
show is called "Getting Dads into the School Setting," and includes an
interview with Bryan Davis, Director of All Pro Dad -- a fatherhood program
of Family First and formed of current and former NFL players and coaches
who call attention to the importance of fatherhood.
Parents and child advocates can listen to PTA Radio
