Promising Partnerships: Ways to Involve Parents in Their Children's Education

Autor Lisa J. Harpin
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 16 dec 2010
The research on parent involvement in education indicates that, in most cases, when parents play an active role in their children's education, academic achievement improves. As a result, schools are now mandated to incorporate parent involvement in the educational process. Educators are faced with the challenge of creating ways to engage parents in their children's education.

Promising Partnerships: Ways to Involve Parents in Their Children's Education is a resource that can be used to unite educators and parents in the common goal of educating today's children. By including relevant topics such as academics, self-esteem, test-taking, mentoring, bullying, independence, decision-making, and cultural diversity, this book confronts educators, parents, and students. Lisa J. Harpin not only acknowledges the importance of these issues but also provides solutions for addressing the challenges that accompany them by establishing partnerships among stakeholders that ultimately lead to student success.

Recenzii

The role of parents in supporting the education of their children has never been more important. In her book, Promising Partnerships, Lisa Harpin presents new and practicing educators with practical ways to involve parents in the education of their children. This book is a must read for educators, parents, and others concerned about the future of our children.
Dr. Harpin's book is an invaluable resource for educators and parents alike. In particular, Chapter 7 on school violence and bullying does an excellent job of providing tips to parents and educators alike for stemming this growing problem in education.
Promising Partnerships is an excellent resource for all parents who are navigating the challenges of their child's education. By offering tips for working as a team with the child's teacher, this book helps parents realize their role as active participants in their child's education so they can bolster their child's self-esteem and learning potential. Chapters on topics such as bullying, cultural diversity, and self-esteem are especially relevant in today's society. This guidebook should be on every parent's bookshelf!
Parent involvement in the education of their children is an essential component of student success. Too often, many well-intentioned parents struggle with the best ways to stay informed and connected to their children's school. This book presents practical and sound advice for parents who want to have a positive impact on the education of their children. The chapters on test taking and bullying, in particular, provide a wealth of information for parents. I recommend this book for any parents of K-12 students looking to educate themselves on the best ways to promote their children's success in school.
The book touches upon subjects like test-taking, back to school success, bullying and what to do if a child is having trouble in school. A 28-year veteran of the state education system, Harpin said she feels parental involvement in education is not only helpful, but essential.
