81. The History Of PARENTS, Inc The alaska Department of education coordinated the conference and funded most of it. The Board of Directors also voted to relocate the PARENTS Resource http://www.parentsinc.org/history.html

The History of PARENTS, Inc. by Tim Weiss (5/8/01) PARENTS, Inc. began in April 1988 when 50 parents and professionals from across the state came to Juneau with the intent of forming a parents group. The meeting was funded and organized by the Alaska Department of Education and the Governor's Council for the Handicapped and Gifted. Four presenters from the lower 48 gave testimony on their parent organizations. After brainstorming ideas and concerns, a core group was set up to construct bylaws and set up a board. From this meeting Pathways and PARENTS, Inc. were formed. Much of the force behind creating and funding both Pathways and PARENTS, Inc. came from Governor's Council Executive Director Dot Truran. An award in her honor was named after her death and is given out at each Pathways Conference. We became a nonprofit corporation in 1989. The First Pathways Conference was held at the Anchorage Hilton in April of 1989. The Alaska Department of Education coordinated the conference and funded most of it. The new PARENTS, Inc. group was asked to coordinate scholarships. Other contributors of the first conference included the Division of Mental Health and Developmental Disabilities, the Infant Learning Program, the Governor's Council on Handicapped and Gifted, Special Education Services Agency, and the Anchorage Special Education Parent Resource Center. We planned on 100 people attending. Registration went over 500 with 75 parents traveling on scholarships. During the April 1989 Pathways conference, the first formal meeting of the board of directors was held. Officers were elected, including:

State Improvement Grant Applications Funded in 2000 Alaska Abstract Basic Information Improvement Strategies Return to Main Page Alaska Abstract or Conceptual Framework for State Systemic Change Based on an extensive needs assessment, the following six goals were identified: Goal 1: Increase the participation of all students, including students with disabilities, in activities related to Alaska's Quality Schools Initiative and other school reform efforts Goal 2: Support the full participation of parents, families, and community members in activities promoting student achievement Goal 3: Develop and sustain effective partnerships with state agencies that provide services affecting students' educational achievement Goal 4: Develop the infrastructure to recruit, train, and retain education professionals Goal 5: Develop the infrastructure to recruit, train, and retain paraeducators Goal 6: Develop an evaluation program to ensure the efficient use of federal, state, and local resources for project activities The QELF project will advocate for full inclusion of students with disabilities in statewide education reform activities by providing training, resources, and technical assistance to school districts, parents, families, communities, and state agencies. The project will also increase cooperation among stakeholders and build the capacity of systemic structures currently in place. Twenty-six organizations representing parents, school districts, school personnel, Alaska Natives and other under-represented groups, state agencies, institutions of higher education, and private employers have signed partnership agreements that identify specific areas of collaboration. These partnerships will enable the QELF project to achieve its goals with a small staff and low administrative overhead. They will also ensure that Alaska's systemic capacity continues to grow after the project's completion.

Alaska Family Education Loan SPECIALIZED LOANS Alaska Teacher Education Loan A.W."Winn" Brindle Memorial Education Loan Michael Murphy Education Loan Professional Student Exchange Loan ... GLOSSARY Planning for College Helping Your Kids Succeed A child thrives on a parent’s attention so it's critical that you be involved with their education. Help encourage and develop their creativity and talents. Cultivate, inspire and develop their skills. Emphasize the importance of all matters relating to education, even when that may include asking them not to take the easy way out. Encourage the Challenging Courses Did you know that according to the National Center for Education Statistics, in fall of 2000 more than one quarter of entering freshman enrolled in one or more remedial reading, writing or mathematics courses? Although our children begin studying these subject areas in elementary school, as they get older, they don’t automatically challenge themselves to learn beyond the basic level. Often, students who can excel in school will opt for the easier courses so they can be with their friends or avoid being labeled a “brain.” Talk with your children and help them to push themselves to learn as much as they can. They should be taking the most advanced classes they can handle academically.ÂÂ
