Please be concise in your response. Only the viewame space wm print. PIQE Directors will market the program to local schools and sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) in which the school agrees to provide a weekly meeting space, child care and light refreshments. PIQE will conduct outreach to all parents at the host school by contracting previous parent graduates from our program to share their experiences and invite other parents to attend the free nine -week parent involvement classes which are offered in 16 languages. Parents choose to participate in either the morning or evening sessions depending on their schedules. PIQE will then contract class facilitators (professionals) who we consider volunteers given the small stipend of $600 that we pay them for the many hours that are required to teach the classes, attend weekly meetings and make follow-up phone calls to each parent the night before the class. PIQE will coordinate all the logistics at the host school including the nine weekly classes during 1'/2 hour sessions, the Principal's dialogue, and the graduation ceremony on the ninth week. At the initial planning session, PIQE Facilitators will delineate the mission of the program and stress the importance of taking the first step toward better parent/student communication. Also, emphasis will be placed on the relevance of parents increasing their interaction with school staff. PIQE's curriculum will inform parents how to effectively communicate with teachers and counselors to determine their child's progress relative to grade level standards and expectations. Parents will be encouraged to inquire as to what types of enrichment programs are available at the school and in the community. In addition, parents will learn how to navigate the school system and what classes their children must take to prepare them for a post -secondary education. PIQE's curriculum will also contain lessons for parents on how to: 1) enhance their child's reading skills; 2) better communicate with their child, offering positive discipline techniques that enhance self-esteem; and 3) help their child avoid drugs, violence, and gang involvement. The ninth week there will be a graduation celebration where parents who attended 4 of the 6 curriculum -based classes will receive their certificates of completion.
