In pursuit of our mission and in accordance with our
guiding principles, we will maintain this website and an
Information Center at Temple University that parents can
visit to gain access to information about educational
opportunities, tools, and resources so that they can
further develop their knowledge and engage in effective,
empowered educational decision making.
In addition, we will support parent leadership by
listening to, communicating with, and sponsoring
collaboration among the regional agencies and
organizations that work with parents and share our sense
of mission.
Third, through the Laboratory for Student Success at
Temple University, we will offer parents and parent
organizations capacity-building training, workshops, and
conferences.
Through these various means, we expect to assist
parents, schools, and support organizations in:
- Connecting to public and private organizations,
services, and supports in local communities.
- Staying abreast of current and emerging trends
occurring in schools and school systems.
- Enhancing our growing ability to work together by
developing new links among people, organizations, and
activities.
- Increasing our collective ability to navigate the
constant changes in opportunities and the challenges
posed by federal, state, and local school reform
initiatives.
- Maintaining and strengthening both formal and
informal parent networks.
- Establishing the broadest possible view of
available resources, maintaining access to them, and
promoting their use.
- Building our shared capacity to meet our various
responsibilities in providing educational
opportunities for children.
