Have you heard of Partners in PROMISE 1:1 Special Education Parent Mentorship Program?  ✨What is It? - 1:1 Special Education Parent Mentorship Program where specially trained mentors in special education law and the process are available to meet with families. Together, they can identify positive steps to get families moving toward a desired or helpful solution. ✨Who is eligible for the program? - Active duty military families enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member Program (EFMP) are always our priority. This is particularly true for those who have a child in special education, given their high mobility. However, depending on space available, we can fit in veteran families as well. ✨How Much Does it Cost? Due to our generous sponsor, USAA Foundation, this is a FREE service throughout the calendar year. ✨How Does it Work? - Families must complete an intake form. Once PiP receives the intake form, we will review it and assign a mentor. PiP aims to pair families with a Parent Mentor who is more knowledgeable about specific diagnoses and (possibly) from the same service branch.  - Before the call, gather IEP documents, evaluation results, compile questions, concerns, and think about a desired outcome.  - After the consultation, the family is asked to complete a feedback form. This information is vital for PiP to evaluate data-driven needs of military families and understand how to improve the program and provide more effective training to our families. ✨Interested in participating and scheduling a consult click this link  https://lnkd.in/eQVPX2C9 OR email [email protected].

These op­por­tu­ni­ties are dis­tributed where they are needed most. The RAND study found that JROTC pro­grams are con­cen­trated in high schools with “larger-than-av­er­age mi­nor­ity pop­u­la­tions” and “eco­nom­i­cally dis­ad­van­taged pop­u­la­tions.” All the mil­i­tary branches fa­vor Ti­tle I schools—those des­ig­nated as serv­ing low-in­come stu­dents—when se­lect­ing can­di­date schools for JROTC fund­ing. The Phil­adelphia Mil­i­tary Acad­emy is a Ti­tle I school. All its stu­dents qual­ify for free lunch, and about 90% of stu­dents are black and His­panic.
