Break the Cycle of Inter-generational Poverty - Never Assume!

Never assume a parent automatically understands how to successfully navigate the ever-moving and sometimes not so friendly, educational landscape. Many parents who emanate from economically challenged environments, can attest to negative experiences they endured when they attended school. Those attitudes and feelings still persist and in many ways dictate how those parents respond to teachers, administrators, and the educational system overall. 

The Institute and our representatives offer a parent-friendly approach to helping parents gain a deeper understanding of how to successfully engage the complex world of education.   

Our aim is to help parents see themselves as the educational role model for their children and to assist the parent in constructing an "Academic Architectural Design" that acts as the road map and personal contract for their child's success.

Helping Parents Develop An "End-Game" for Their Child

"If your child shows up in my classroom without an "End-Game" the failure is not theirs." That's the message, CEO, Wes Hall, had for a group of parents at his latest empowerment session. Parents were challenged to assess their short, mid, and long term academic and career visions, put in place by them, for their child.

Felicana Public School District, Retains the Services of the Institute.

The Feliciana Public School District, through a grant from the United Way, retained the services of the Institute, to help create innovative programming designed to inspire their parents to take a more active role in the academic lives of their children. Institute reps helped design an app that the parents will use to communicate their ideas, interests, and concerns. Wes Hall, CEO for the Institute, will travel to the district 4 times during the course of the school year to meet with the parents and provide ongoing parental empowerment and instructional training workshops

Parents Receive Free Children's Book for Their Child

Parents are on the constant lookout for reading materials that can empower their children. At a recent parent empowerment session for the Los Angeles Unified School District, parents were treated to a free copy of, "Jack and the Sly Fox," written by the Institute's CEO, Wes Hall. The book helps young readers gain a deeper understanding of how to use their natural gifts and talents to attract a life of wealth and abundance. The district purchased the books and provided them to the parents, at no cost.
