Abstract:

THE CASE FOR PARENT LEADERSHIP (PDF File)http://www.centerforparentleadership.org/case.pdfParent involvement in schools, say the authors of this new report, needs to go far beyond chaperoning field trips, sponsoring fund-raising projects or helping kids with homework. Published by the Center for Parent Leadership and KSA-Plus Communications, "The Case for Parent Leadership" is co-authored by national school-family expert Anne Henderson and includes: A research-based rationale about how parent leadership programs can help educators deliver on the promise of standards-based reform; examples of successful parent leadership in action; checklists and mini-quizzes to gauge how parent-friendly your schools are; and practical advice for parents, educators and policymakers on what they can do to promote the kind of parent involvement that will have a sustained impact on student learning.
