The Kansas Parent Information Resource Center (KPIRC) provides training and resources to faculty and students at institutions of higher education, so that teacher education curriculum can be expanded to include more effective tools for parent involvement, No Child Left Behind (NCLB) legislated requirements, and diversity.
