The Parent Empowerment Resources and Training Project (PERT) has been designed to empower under served parents to have greater skills and confidence to serve as better academic champions for their children, and thereby increase academic proficiency, reduce aggressive behavior and the need for clinical interventions in schools.
Today, clinicians, educators, social workers and government officials, as well as parents, are keenly aware that it is not enough simply to wish schools will automatically improve, or that parents must simply accept what comes their way. In reality, children need support, love, and consistent encouragement, and caregivers need access to training, educational resources, and inspirational speakers to help empower existing clients as well as under served families in our community.
ANDELE's team is an effective resource for helping parents to become their child's academic champion and best tutor! That is what Parent Empowerment is all about - we do it for the children! |
