Parent University Course Guide
2010-2011 Spring
The most successful students are those whose parents are involved in their education.
These students tend to earn better grades, score higher on standardized tests, have
better attendance records and show a more positive attitude toward school.
Effective involvement happens when parents have access to information and
resources that encourage children to succeed. Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools
is offering CMS Parent University to help parents learn what they can do to
support their children’s academic success and well-being.
Parent University, which is a collaborative effort partnering with many agencies
and organizations throughout the area, is a dynamic compilation of FREE course
offerings, activities and resources in locations throughout the county. Parent
University’s offerings concentrate on four primary areas:
Strand I is Parenting Awareness. These offerings provide information that
can empower parents to raise confident, educated children ready for the 21st
century. Strengthening parents means strengthening children.
Strand II is Helping Your Child Learn in the 21st Century. These offerings
provide parents information about how they can support their children’s
academic opportunities and challenges today.
Strand III is Health and Wellness. These offerings support information
and activities to help families build healthy lifestyles physically as well as
emotionally.
Strand IV is Personal Growth and Development. These offerings will help
parents to grow personally and professionally, so they can become the most
effective advocates for their children.

Understanding Barriers
Families Face –
An ESL Poverty Simulation
Targeted Audience: CMS administrators, teachers, and
community leaders/volunteers who work with families in need
An ESL poverty simulation is an interactive and experiential workshop to help school
administrators, staff members, and community
leaders/volunteers better understand the daily
challenges faced by many of our community’s
most economically disadvantaged families. In
addition, this simulation is focused on working
with and understanding families with language
and poverty barriers. This understanding allows
people to engage and work with students and
their families in a more effective manner.
In the simulation, 39 to 85 participants assume
the roles of up to 26 different families facing
poverty at different levels and with different
circumstances. The task of the “families” is to
provide for basic necessities and shelter during
the course of four 15-minute “weeks.”

are available to keep your child in school and ultimately
achieve graduation.

and the class registration process

NEW! Lunch-n-Learn Session
Creating an Appreciation for Art in Your Family
– presented by the Bechtler Museum of Modern Art and CMS Parent University
Monday, April 4, 2011 • Noon – 1:00 pm • Free!
Bechtler Museum of Modern Art • 420 South Tryon Street • Charlotte, NC 28202
Targeted audience for the workshop:
Parents of children in Pre-K through high school.
When students develop an appreciation for art and learn to
talk about what they see, an entire world of new ideas can
open up for them. Using the unique pieces in the Bechtler
collection, parents will learn tips and techniques for teaching
their children how to read a piece of artwork.
As a result of this workshop, participants will:
• Learn strategies for how to look at and talk about art with
your child
• Understand the importance of how to “read” a piece of art
• Learn museum etiquette and how to be caretakers of a
collection
• Get information and resources about how to use the Bechtler
collection to enhance your child’s exploration of art
18
The Bechtler Museum of Modern Art is dedicated to the exhibition of
mid-20th-century modern art. The terra-cotta tiled museum in the heart
of Charlotte’s center city brims with works by Miró, Giacometti, Calder,
Warhol, Tinguely, Klee, Ernst, Hepworth, Le Corbusier, LeWitt and a
wealth of other notables. The previously private collection accumulated
over 70 years by the Bechtler family of Switzerland also features books
and letters illustrating personal relationships between the Bechtlers and
some of the artists in the collection. The four-story museum juxtaposes
whimsy with work of significant intellectual depth and historical
significance. Cosmopolitan in nature yet intimate in scale, the Bechtler
provides an experience that is inspiring and approachable.

important to share the knowledge you have with your child. This is a
hands-on, interactive workshop for parents and children to participate
in together. Learning stations will be set up throughout the room with
a variety of simple science and math activities that utilize everyday

Every student experiences academic difficulties on occasion and there
are about as many reasons as there are students. Sometimes the
problems are serious enough that if something isn’t done, that student
may fall too far behind to catch up. Wouldn’t it be great if we could
come up with a way to provide students who are having difficulties
with a specialized plan for learning? Now we can! Personalized
Education Plans (PEPs) are a tool used by schools to keep an eye on
problem areas and provide strategies to address them. This class
will talk about Personalized Education Plans for students who are
experiencing difficulties in Literacy & Language Arts.
