Extractions: Communications Firm and Parent Leadership Organization Join Forces Arlington, VA - Unless more parents become more knowledgeable and demanding of their local schools, the lofty promises of the new federal No Child Left Behind Act are unlikely to become reality. To help address this challenge, KSA-Plus Communications, the nation's leading education communications firm, and the Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence, a Kentucky-based nonprofit that hosts acclaimed parent leadership institutes, are teaming up to provide school districts, departments of education, community, business, and other advocacy groups tools that empower parents to become more effective champions for improved schools. The two groups formed Parent Leadership Associates, which will provide problem-solving assistance to clients through consulting, training, advocacy guides and how-to manuals. By focusing on skills such as using data, understanding standards and assessments, and recognizing teacher quality, the organizations will use these services to help parents advocate for changes that truly make a difference in student learning. Clients will receive tools and training targeted to all parents, including those traditionally considered hard to reach, so all parents can be well-informed advocates on behalf of their own children as well as other children in their communities. "Leave no parent behind - that's our goal," said Adam Kernan-Schloss, president of KSA-Plus. "Research shows that what the family does is more important to student success than family income or education. This is true whether the family is rich or poor, whether the parents finished high school or not, or whether the child is in preschool or in the upper grades."
