Reflection #11: parents as partners

What works and what doesn't

What works and what doesn't
Parents as partners is all about breaking barriers between parents and the public school systems and how to build the bonds between parents and their children's teachers. They talked about the book Building Parent Engagement in Schools by Larry Ferlazzo" The author was on the show and he talked about how this book is supposes to guide schools in changing parent participation or involvement into parent engagement. His book directly challenges the things teachers and schools usually do like making copies or chaperoning field trips. I think it is definitely something worth looking into. It is only 19.95 for the kindle version and according to the amazon reviews it is well worth it!
I really enjoyed learning about this book but I. Was not very impressed with the podcast series itself. The woman speaking was verify monotone and hard to hear/understand.
