Parent Empowerment & Engagement Movement
I Am The Expert of My Child
As a result of being in the field of education over two decades, Dr. Akridge has, unfortunately, observed educators inadvertently, and some very intentionally, minimizing and dismissing the knowledge and expertise that parents have about their children.
​
Dr. Akridge initiated the I Am The Expert of My Child movement to satisfy her efforts to be a resource to parents and create resources for parents and educators that curtail the instances where parents feel that their voices were muted.
​
Dr. Akridge developed the I Am The Expert of My Child journals provide parents with a structured way to track all communication and contact with their child’s school. So when a challenge or concern arises, YOU HAVE RECEIPTS and documentation!
