Empowering Educators, Strengthening Communities through Parent Partnerships

NRPA’s Educational Empowerment Workshops are designed to provide educators and school leaders with transformative tools to understand and disrupt the school-to-prison pipeline. Rooted in our commitment to equitable educational practices, our workshops equip participants with relevant insights and actionable strategies, aiming to close academic gaps and foster inclusive school environments.

​

A unique focus of our workshops is strengthening parent partnerships. We believe that effective collaboration with parents is essential to addressing educational disparities and supporting student success. Each workshop includes strategies for integrating parents as partners in the educational journey, empowering them to:

​

• Understand and Support Learning Goals: Educators learn how to communicate academic expectations to parents in meaningful, accessible ways that enable families to reinforce learning goals at home.

• Build Community Connections: Workshops guide educators in establishing community-centered relationships with parents, allowing them to feel valued and included as part of the educational process.

• Empower Parent Advocacy: We provide educators with tools to encourage and support parents as advocates, equipping them with knowledge about educational policies and practices that impact their children.

• Develop Growth Mindsets in Learning at Home: Educators learn strategies to promote growth mindsets among parents, helping them create a positive, supportive home environment that encourages curiosity and resilience in their children.

• Communicate Effectively and Empathetically: Through trauma-informed practices and cultural responsiveness, educators can engage with parents empathetically and effectively, fostering trust and collaboration.
