WASHINGTON, D.C. – On Saturday, March 21, the Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law’s Parental Readiness and Empowerment Program (PREP), in conjunction with the Ballard Parent Center, will host two free simultaneous events.  The advocacy workshop for parents will focus upon Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and Standardized Testing.  Participants will learn about changes taking place in CCSS math and English and promoting critical thinking and problem solving skills in reading and math.  Additionally, parents will have the opportunity to meet with volunteer advocates to discuss their child’s educational needs and develop an action plan to address those needs in the Educational Consultation Clinic.  During the Youth Advocacy Workshop, participants will learn about healthy eating, human rights in the U.S, and environmental safety tips.
