For parents interested in a more thorough guide to supporting their students, School Whys will offer a series of three books that provide practical tips and advice on academics, accountability, and advocacy - the three levels of parent engagement. This first book, School Whys: What every parent needs to know about Academics, will help parents learn strategies to support their child's academic success. The subsequent books, School Whys: What every parent needs to know about Accountability, and School Whys: What every parent needs to know about Advocacy, provide information parents can use to ensure the leadership at their child's school is accountable for student achievement, and provides ways they can be better advocates for their child and school. Through this series, parents can become empowered to support individual learning, strong schools, and system wide reform.
