All Kinds of Families

> ANNUALLY SERVING 40 STUDENTS

Problem

Numerous research studies show that parents’ involvement is key to school success. Yet, many parents feel uncomfortable or even unwelcome as a partner in their child’s education.

Response

In response, this project provides training to parents on being an effective advocate for their child. Training targets families who have traditionally been excluded including low-income parents, parents with disabilities, Black and Hispanic parents, and parents with limited educations. Our publications on children’s educational rights, which are written at a low-literacy level, support this project.
