About this title

Synopsis

Do you want to help her child succeed or do better in school Then Kirshbaum and all kinds of ideas and even examples of forms, checklists and letters to help you, the parent, help your child in his or her school.

"Kirshbaum has written the definite guide for parents to become effective partners with teachers and administrators," Susan Adler Kaplan, Founding Member, National Board for Professional Teaching Standards, Rhode Island Teacher of the Year.

Reviews

The 90 parental involvement ideas Kirshbaum and Dellabough present range from listening to one's child to starting a foundation--a big project, to be sure, but, they say, no means is too little to the end of parental empowerment and children's success in school. Their discussion of the importance of parental involvement casts parents as consumer advocates (children are the consumers, education the product), and though they employ many hackneyed catchphrases (e.g., lifelong learning) and emphasize corporate partnering, some of the ideas--for instance, being a homeroom parent--are refreshingly retro, and they do not advocate any one type of involvement more than another. Well-written, sound, and businesslike sample forms, checklists, and even sample press releases, as well as lists of suggestions specifically for single parents, stay-at-home parents, parents of older children, etc., help make the advice practical and customizable. Jennie Ver Steeg
