Building Dual Capacity
FACTOR Programs – Five-Week Parent Training Series.
Parent Engagement Academy provides five weekly training sessions that support students’ social, emotional, physical, and academic development, with a focus on multilingual families.
Families Acting Towards Results (FACTOR) is a research-based curriculum that equips parents with practical tools, academic information, and 21st-century skills to strengthen parent engagement and improve student achievement.
Parents learn how to navigate the education system, support college readiness, encourage STEM/STEAM learning, and better understand their child’s development.
The FACTOR program is enhanced by Early Childhood Education, which helps parents understand the importance of early learning and its benefits for children’s intellectual, social, and emotional development.
The program is also strengthened by FACTOR-T, a results-focused training for teachers and school leaders designed to build meaningful partnerships with parents and communities.

“Good evening everyone,
I want to take a moment to sincerely congratulate each and every one of you for completing the Parent Engagement Academy Factor Workshop Series. This is not a small accomplishment. You made the choice to invest your time, your energy, and your heart into becoming even stronger supporters of your children’s success—and that matters more than you may realize.
Balancing work, family, and daily responsibilities is already a challenge, yet you showed up, stayed committed, and followed through. That speaks volumes about your dedication and love for your children.
What you’ve gained through this experience goes beyond strategies and information. You’ve strengthened your voice as a parent, built connections, and taken meaningful steps toward creating even greater opportunities for your family.
Your children may not always say it, but they will benefit from this. They will feel your support, your growth, and your belief in them.
Tonight, we celebrate you—not just for completing this workshop series, but for the example you continue to set every single day.
Before we close, we also invite you to continue sharing your voice with us by completing the WASC Parent Survey that will be sent via email. Your feedback is incredibly important and helps us improve how we serve you and your children.
Congratulations again and thank you for your commitment to your children and our school community.”
