Interview by AL PIRC with S.A.F.E. TEAM

As you develop an organization nationally, you will also develop key relationships within states around the country.  One of those relationships for us is with AL PIRC and AL PTA.  At the AL PTA convention, our Chief Inspirational Officer, Scott Huse, sat down for an interview with the AL PTA's Program Chair/ AL PIRC Director, Sherri Wilson.  We had posted the podcast link back in May, but here's the video shot during the interview.  Take a few minutes to watch both Part 1 and 2.

COMBO dials up the “right combination” for the VA PTA

COMBO and Scott Huse kicked off the Schools And Families Engaged (S.A.F.E. TEAM) workshop with a photo with several of the attendees. What inspired Scott the most as the presenter of the workshop is simply the understanding each of the attendees had of the need for parents to actively engage in their child's life in both elementary or secondary schools. He could see this in their eyes and through the questions they asked. The Virginia Department of Eduction needs to get ready, the VA PTA is about ready to make a huge mark by increasing the number of family members supporting their students in education.

Affordable Student Success

Since I participated in the National Parent Involvement Resource Center (PIRC) conference over the summer in Baltimore, MD, I have learned about the challenges that are facing our lower income students and schools in the USA. The research is proven and documented, when parents and family members step up to the plate and parent their children by getting engaged in their life, that child/student's chances for success drastically increase. The reality is that some parents did/do not have their own role model to understand how to effectively parent their child(ren). PIRCs and other organizations are focusing on providing the resources and education to support these types of parents. Our goal at Schools And Families Engaged (S.A.F.E. TEAM) is to help parents get started back in their student's education at any level, elementary or secondary, so they will then have an increased opportunity to access the information and training being offered by the National PIRCs in all 50 states and territories.
