Published by the Center for Parent Leadership and KSA-Plus Communications, &quot;The Case for Parent Leadership&quot; 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.
