How Parents Can Take the Lead in Their Child’s Education
The Importance of School–Family Ties
More than 50 years of research tells us that family, school and community engagement improves student learning outcomes. But have you ever wondered just how much you should be involved in your child’s schooling?
In a new book, ‘Your Children: Take the Lead on Their Education’, educationist Cheryl Lacey invites parents, as the child’s first and most influential teachers, to be leaders of their child’s education, reminding them that that it’s their business to know exactly what is going on in their child’s school.
The author shows how parents can support each other to be at the centre of all decision-making related to their children’s school education and that parents can be the voice for change and make a difference in the school setting and student outcomes.
