Parent Institute for Engagement: Leadership and Lifelong Learning Application

The Parent Institute for Engagement: Leadership and Lifelong Learning (PIE: L3)

The Department of Early Learning's Early Support for Infants and Toddlers (ESIT) program, is seeking parents/caregivers from a variety of backgrounds to participate in the State Interagency Coordinating Council (SICC) Parent Institute for Engagement: Leadership and Lifelong Learning.

PIE is a 12 month training program for parents/caregivers with children who have special needs, and who are not currently working in the early intervention field. 
(We are designating one spot for a parent who has worked in the early intervention field for less than 18 months).  

Parent/Caregivers will learn about:

·         Robert’s Rules of Order (a framework commonly used in public meetings)

·         The State Interagency Coordinating Council and its role in advising and assisting ESIT

·         The early intervention system

·         Leadership and advocacy

·         Public speaking and presentations

At the end of the program, parents may choose to become a member of a SICC standing committee.

Parent/caregivers will develop skills to be great candidates for school boards, and government bodies. This is a great practice ground for leadership opportunities.
