The nonprofit Arizona for Latino Leaders In Education, or ALL in Education, has launched a program that gives parents tools to support their children’s education during distance learning and beyond.
The organization’s executive director, Stephanie Parra, said the idea for the new Parent Educator Academy was born from parents’ frustration with distance learning. We want parents to feel equipped to be kind of like that at-home navigator with their student so we definitely want to meet the educational needs of our kids, of the students and the families that we are serving, she said.
