An Effective Parent Partnership with a school and or district always invites parents to the table to make decisions about school curriculum and programs for students. This practice must be done with integrity and not as a superficial gesture to appease community. Parents are genuinely concerned and some are desperately seeking partners to help their child not only succeed academically but navigate the educational system. Unfortunately educators, administrators and teachers do not admit that due to NCLB, state standards and new testing rules have created more barriers for parent involvement. Parents need a “judge free” partner who will provide clear and concise goals and expectations for their child. They need detailed information on how to read and understand rubrics, benchmarks and testing data. Parents also need time with teachers to learn the math and reading language and strategies used in curriculum. Without these theses meaningful encounters parents have no clue on how to help their children with basic homework lessons that come home each day.
