Serving hundreds of urban and rural schools with low income and culturally diverse communities throughout the state, the Arizona State PIRC has developed a strong network of families, educators, and community partners committed to increasing student achievement.

Our statewide trainings and technical assistance services to Title I schools provide a systemic framework for increasing student achievement through meaningful parent engagement that is linked to learning.
