Workshops instructors, panelists, and Keynote speakers from the local, national and international communities will be addressing relevant issues impacting on Parents of African Nova Scotian Learners.
The Parent Summit aims to support and empower African Nova Scotian parents to tackle issues of achievement, accountability, and student success.
A dynamic curriculum of practical workshops, keynotes presentations, cultural activities and spirituality sessions provides African Nova Scotian parents with two full days of training and development.
“CACE is very pleased to partner with the African Canadian Services Division, the Black Educators Association, the Association of Black Social Workers and others to provide an event that can truly enhance parents’ effectiveness in helping African Nova Scotian Learners succeed,” says Charles Sheppard, Chairperson of CACE.“
This is CACE’s fifth summit - and the second parent summit. While the first three summits were critical to establishing protocols and strategies for the development of our sector these parent summits are the most crucial so far. “We want parents to come out and dialogue with us on the supports they need as parents in order to do their job of getting their children through school." says Delvina Bernard, Executive Director of CACE. |
