FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FROM USDE!
Grantee Spotlight: Center for Parent Information and Resources
Families can learn more about how to support their young children’s education and engage with the systems that serve them by visiting the Center for Parent Information and Resources (CPIR) website (http://www.parentcenterhub.org/…). While CPIR specifically focuses on supporting families of children with disabilities, it provides a wealth of resources and links to support all families. Families can find information about their state’s parent training and information centers (http://www.parentcenterhub.org/re…/parent-participation-ei/…) that can help them navigate early intervention and special education, even if they only suspect that their child may have developmental delays or disabilities. In addition, families of children receiving early intervention services and providers in early intervention systems can find specific information that supports family engagement in early intervention.

Featured Resource
Promoting Self-Regulation in Adolescents and Young Adults: A Practice Brief
Self-regulation refers to one’s ability to manage emotions and impulses. Adolescence and young adulthood are times of both risk and opportunity with regard to self-regulation. This 6-page Practice Brief (from the Administration for Children and Families) describes the importance of self-regulation for adolescents and young adults and provides guidelines for supporting self-regulation development for 14-25-year-olds. Extra bonus—the Practice Brief pairs well with a 3-page companion resource called Seven Key Principles of Self-Regulation.
Access both the Practice Brief and the Seven Key Principles of Self-Regulation HERE! (http://www.parentcenterhub.org/re…/parent-participation-ei/…).

*******************
Visit the What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) website, an excellent resource from the Department's Institute of Education Sciences. The site makes it easier for researchers to access information on what works in education, and expands and reorganizes the resources available to support rigorous research. On March 15, the WWC hosted a webinar to present the exciting new features of the recently redesigned site, including (1) how to search for interventions that improve a specific outcome for students in particular grades and subjects; (2) how to see the findings from the individual studies that are summarized in a WWC intervention report; and (3) how to export data from WWC reviews for your own analyses. View the webinar here.
