Florida Choice Resource Center

Parent Resource Center

About the Parent Resource Centers

The Parent Resource Centers were developed through a partnership with Nova Southeastern University (NSU) and Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) through NSU's Florida School Choice Resource Center, M-DCPS' Office of Parental Involvement, and Title I Administration.

They are a one-stop resource center for:

Parents or guardians who want their child to get the best education possible;
Principals or teachers who want families to be strong partners in meeting the educational needs of their students; and
Parent leaders or parent involvement specialists who want to equip families with the right skills to support their children's learning and to be informed and involved in their children's education.

The Parent Resource Centers provide parents, schools, and organizations working with families with training, information, and technical assistance to understand how children develop and what they need to be successful in school.

Use the Parent Resource Centers

For online resources and take-home information on school choice, educational options, learning resources, FCAT, and No Child Left Behind;
Miami-Dade County Public Schools' information; and
Workshops and trainings on family involvement in education.
