Parent Training

The ECC currently offers Windsor parent’s two unique opportunities for training.  Training is offered periodically and as funds allow.  Please contact us for further information.

1) Parent Leadership Training Institute (PLTI):  
PLTI enables parents to become leading advocates for children.  The PLTI teaches parents, who wish to improve the lifelong health, safety and learning of children, how to become practiced change agents for the next generation.  The Connecticut Commission on Children sponsors the Parent Leadership Training Institute. 

The mission of PLTI is to enable parents to become effective advocates for children.  The program includes four training phases:  a daylong retreat; a 10 week course on parent leadership; a 10 week study of politics, policy and media; and a community project in which participants practice what they have learned.  A primary goal of PLTI is to help parents become the leaders they would like to be for children.

2) Parents Supporting Educational Excellence (Parents SEE): 
PSEE is a leadership course for parents of children in Windsor Schools.  Participants will experience a strong community of parents interested in the details, the context and the strategies to promote school practices that increase achievement for all students.  They learn what to expect from schools, how to partner with them and how to be a successful civic leader on education issues.

Parents SEE fosters parent leadership in schools through a 12 session training program preceded by a full-day retreat.  The content of the 12 Parents SEE sessions is entirely focused on schools and includes discussion of topics such as how to promote change in schools, educational policies and practices and leadership.  A main goal of Parents SEE is to provide parents will skills and understanding necessary to become leaders, change agents and active participants in education at the school, district and state levels.
