Common Ground is a coalition of Bay Area schools that have joined together to enhance parent education.

The goal of the coalition is to provide opportunities for parents and educators to learn from experts in a variety of fields, to share ideas with others, and to support each other’s efforts to enrich our local communities. The Common Ground Speaker Series features dynamic speakers who are nationally recognized for their expertise in specific areas of parenting, education, and/or health. Each year, we strive to present a balanced series that addresses a wide array of issues confronting parents and educators.
