The Family View

The Family View is the new blog from the Alabama Parent Information and Resource Center (PIRC), a project of the Alabama Parent Education Center. Our mission is to help families improve the educational outcomes of their children. We will use this forum to provide tips, advice, strategies and random thoughts about the ways families can support their children's learning!

Parent Information and Resource Centers are in every state and each of the outlying territories. They are federally funded under the No Child Left Behind Act. The Alabama PIRC is located in Wetumpka, Alabama but works with families and schools all over the state. We provide leadership training for parents, facilitated action planning for schools and a wide variety of other services. 

The next blog we post will highlight the work of one of our parent leadership teams from the Hunstville area. See you next week!
