The Academy
As of 2024, we are building a team of Levy Educational Advocacy-trained advocates. The goal of building a team of advocates specializing in certain areas of educational advocacy is to ensure that every student receives the support and resources they need to thrive academically. By harnessing the expertise of these advocates, we can address a wide range of educational challenges and provide tailored solutions for each student.
Moreover, our team will be guided by best practices and methodologies that have proven successful in advocating for students' rights and educational equality.
Grounded in our four pillars of connection, collaboration, empathy, and expertise, Levy Educational Advocacy prides itself on meaningful support, effective communication, and self-care. Staying up to date with the latest research and trends in the field is vital to our mission as it keeps our advocates equipped to provide the most effective support to students and their families. It is crucial that our team adhere to state and federal guidelines throughout their advocacy efforts. By following these regulations, we ensure that our advocacy is not only effective but also legally sound. This commitment to compliance will enable us to work collaboratively with schools, districts, and educational authorities, fostering positive relationships and achieving meaningful outcomes for students.
By building a team of specialized certified advocates and providing them with comprehensive training, we aim to create a network of support that empowers students and their families.
Together, we will strive to break down barriers, advocate for equitable educational opportunities, and ultimately transform the lives of students across our nation and individual communities.
