Narrative:

I was on a training flight with a student pilot working on pattern work. We were cleared for the option for runway 17R and instructed to make left closed traffic on the go. ATC cleared a gyrocopter for take off on runway 17L while we were on short final for runway 17R. On climb out following the touch and go; the gyrocopter drifted into the extended upwind for runway 17R. We had to stop our climb and make an evasive turn to the left to avoid collision. After maneuvering to avoid the gyrocopter; we were instructed by ATC to start our left crosswind when able.given the relatively low speed of the gyrocopter and the proximity of the parallel runways; clearing the gyrocopter for takeoff while we were simultaneously executing a touch and go on the right runway and instructing us to make left closed traffic posed a risk for midair collision. This was further compounded by the gyrocopter drifting into the extended upwind of the parallel runway.
