The initiative operates both as an after school enrichment program and as part of an alternative school curriculum. The CASA MAS web site providesMath and Science education resources for students, parents, teachers and administrators. This partnership will give Latino youth the opportunity to develop and employ entrepreneurial skills to shape their own lives and the lives of their communities. It was the sense that this office was for us, and we weren't alone. Partnership Project brings together teachers and parents as a team to help individual students achieve their personal and academic goals.
Teams integrate parent involvement activities with child-centered counseling and mentoring.
Initiative trains parents to become informed advocates, working together to improve education in their communities. Trained parents then mobilize others to join their efforts, spreading the project's impact to approximately 1,000 parents in three years. The Mobilization for Equity provides information to community members around the country on public policy issues related to the equity of educational services. It helps the Latino community understand students' rights and promotes effective advocacy strategies for change.
