Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Happy Summer! Whether you are traveling, camping, or just hanging out at your local park this summer, we hope you will take time to rest and refresh.
To celebrate #PrideMonth, we reprise a recent presentation from Stuart Getty, author of How to They/Them: A Guide to Nonbinary Pronouns and the World of Gender Fluidity (info below).
a two-part mental health training for parents and community members.
NEW! We are excited to announce the first-ever Parent Ed Series Summer Reading List. This collection of books - Part 2 is here! - from many of our favorite presenters is packed with great parenting strategies. Try one or read them all!
And, as this pandemic year draws to a close, we're proud to report that we provided education for over 16,000 parents, students, educators, and community members.
With a pivot to virtual programming, we lowered barriers to access and offered inclusive, high-quality events to more families than ever before! Virtual programming will continue in the fall, with some highlighted in-person events.
New videos include CRM Training: Part 1; CRM Training: Part 2; and How to They/Them: A Guide to Nonbinary Pronouns.
Have a wonderful summer!

Striving or Thriving? Steps to Help Kids Find Balance and Purpose
|
When kids engage in activities they find personally meaningful, it develops an authentic self-confidence or "that inner, quiet recognition of who I am.” Unlike self-esteem, which is often fed by external validation, self-confidence is that internal joy that says, “I did it.”
— Mind/Shift (Deborah Farmer Kris)

How equity and inclusion coaches are helping schools become anti-racist
|
Parents are the key to creating an inclusive environment. “If a teacher can be in [an] authentic relationship with parents of BIPOC students, neurodiverse students, and parents whose students have differing levels of ability, you can have a more equitable classroom."
— The Washington Post: On Parenting
