New York Senate Bill 6107 authorizes City University of New York (CUNY) to operate a Parent Training Center for public school parents in all five boroughs. Priority must go to "high-needs" schools and districts with low student achievement, high density of English language learners (ELLs) and low-income families, and a lack of effective parent associations. This report describes parent leadership training programs around the country; examines their structure, curriculum, and evaluation results; and discerns lessons for New York City. (Contains 1 figure and 1 footnote.) [For related reports, see "Building Local Leadership for Change: A National Scan of Parent Leadership Training Programs. Education Policy for Action Series" (ED522167) and "Building Local Leadership for Change: A National Scan of Parent Leadership Training Programs. Program Profiles.
