Helping Black Parents/Families Meet the Current Challenge


Virtual Education is yet another challenge for which black parents/families must find solutions.

How do we keep our children engaged? What strategies can we use to maintain our children’s interest in education? What strategies can we use to keep our children socialized from our perspective? Join our panelists as they share answers to these questions and others about continuing to educate our children with high standards, challenging assignments, while keeping them motivated!
