Parents from the Parent Leadership Training Institute (PLTI) are gearing up for a new school year. They say more parent voices are needed in the school system, especially after the pandemic year.
This hour, we talk to PLTI members about why they believe their model can help parents become effective advocates and leaders, and we discuss what they would like to see in terms of parent leadership in local schools. Our guests:
- Luva Alvarez, site and alumni coordinator for the PLTI program
- Toyin Anderson, parent leader and graduate of the PLTI program, Cohort 1
- Elizabeth Maxwell, parent leader and graduate of the PLTI program, Cohort 8
