Professional Services Agreement- Leading Edge Learning Center- 2019-20.pdf
Summary: Leading Edge Learning Center will provide a series of participatory workshops, with a strong focus on early childhood development, strengthening family relationships, improving communication and identifying techniques for better relationships with children, teachers, and the community. Dr. Bill’s Parenting Academy focuses on core behaviors that demonstrate effective parenting practices that have been identified across cultural and economic groups and communities. Parents will become knowledgeable about those behaviors that nurture children as they develop from infancy through adolescence. Activities throughout the Parenting Academy will include exposure to behaviors that will provide parents the opportunity to evaluate their own parenting behaviors and participate in exercises that may enable more effective responses and behaviors from their children. These behavioral exercises include: meeting their child’s basic and emotional needs, attentiveness, engagement, responsiveness, reliability and consistency, monitoring, mentoring and modeling, and setting positive examples.

The Agreement includes the following:

- Two parenting workshops per quarter (occurring in six (6) week cohorts)
- Sessions to be conducted twice a week (two (2) hour sessions)
- Workshop dates and times will be determined by the school site

The term of this Agreement shall be from September 19, 2019 through June 30, 2020.
Funding: The cost for this item is included in the 2019-20 operating budget funded through the Local Control Accountability Plan Supplemental and Concentration Funds, not the General Fund.
