Initiative Framework - Marion County
The purpose of the USA Parents Initiative is to provide parents with information, support, and encouragement necessary to help their children excel in Science Bound and graduate from Purdue University.
We aim to:
- Empower parents to give their children a solid foundation for school and life success.
- Increase parents knowledge of child development and appropriate ways to stimulate their children's intellectual, language, social, and physical development.
- Increase parents' feelings of competence and confidence in guiding their child's education.
- Enhance parent-child interaction and strengthen family relationships.
- Develop strong partnerships between parents and schools to maintain achievement standards.
We achieve our goals and objectives by using the following framework for development:
