Connect your school’s families to science-rich Institutions
Urban Advantage and the Parent Coordinators of NYC
UA provides support for the teaching and learning of science in participating schools. By also providing professional development for parent coordinators, UA supports the link between families and the school. These events provide immersive learning experiences that deepen understanding of science, science teaching, and the pivotal role families play in science engagement. PCs are also supported by UA in hosting events at the schools for family engagement.
Parent Coordinators receive access to UA's eight science-rich cultural institutions to plan trips and to bring school community groups for days of exploration and inquiry.
Professional Learning
Parent Coordinators connect schools and families by organizing events like School Community Trips and Family Science Nights to spark curiosity and build community. They attend UA workshops and events, gaining resources for engaging families in science.
What Parent Coordinators are saying:
“Our Family Field Trips with UA have been amazing, especially seeing parents and kids bond together.”
