Description:

This is the second session of a new, free, year-long education and training program to help BPS parents support their children’s academic achievement, provide opportunities for personal and professional growth, and build leadership capacity. Parents participate in three day-long Saturday learning sessions, with additional sessions offered throughout the year at schools, libraries and community centers. Parents who complete courses will participate in a graduation ceremony in June.

Sessions (some offered in both English and Spanish) include:
•   Easing your way into Algebra
•   Raising our sons
•   MCAS: A roadmap to understanding your child’s scores
•   K-8 science, your child and you!
