Claire Marie Beery joins the Faculty of Academy for Coaching Parents International

The faculty of Academy for Coaching Parents International has added a new member to its band of educators – Claire Marie Beery. The Academy for Coaching Parents International provides a certified distance-learning program in the field of parent coaching. With a curriculum based on the HeartWise™ parent coaching model, the institute prepares students to operate their own parent coaching business successfully.

While introducing Ms. Beery, Dr. Caron B. Goode, Director of ACPI, stated, “The development of parenting skills is a process that begins in infancy and matures throughout our life. Our history, from preconception to the present moment, weaves a web of influence that includes personal strengths as well as challenges. This perspective is the heart of Claire’s work with children and their families as well as with students of child development and adults preparing to work with families.”

Claire Marie Beery has over 30 years of experience towards supporting families as well as students of child development. She is Program Coordinator and Parent Educator for Parents Place, a program of the Jewish Family and Children’s Services of Sonoma County.

Commenting on her new role as an ACPI instructor, Ms. Beery said, “I am very pleased to be a part of ACPI. You not only get to prepare individuals for a business, you have an opportunity to make a difference in someone's life - which is a reward in itself.”

Ms. Beery will be teaching track (course) 3 – HeartWise™ Parenting for the Early Years. “As a mother of three daughters no one is better equipped for the job,” smiled Dr. Goode.
