K-12 Public Education Insights: Helping Parents of Color Build Strong Family-School Partnerships

About

Raising kids can be tough! I know because I’ve been a single mom who raised two kids on my own. And when they get in the K-12 public education system, learning the ins and outs of that system can get you all tangled up, especially when you’re a parent of color (POC). Navigating K–12 public education can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to do it alone. Hosted by Dr. Kim J. Fields, K-12 Public Education Insights: Helping Parents of Color Build Strong Family-School Partnerships equips parents with the knowledge, confidence, and practical strategies to become effective advocates for their children and trusted partners with their schools. Each episode explores family engagement, parent advocacy, navigating K–12 public education, educational equity, and parent leadership through conversations, expert insights, and practical guidance you can apply in everyday situations. Whether you're preparing for a parent-teacher conference, understanding school policies, supporting your child's learning, or strengthening communication with educators, you'll gain tools that help you take informed action. Produced by Liberation Through Education, this podcast is dedicated to empowering parents of color to build lasting family-school partnerships that help their children thrive in school.
