Empowering Parents to Transform Schools
Increasingly, parents are playing a larger role in
the transformation of schools and school districts. In cities across the
country—Baltimore, Chicago, New Orleans, New York, Los Angeles, and
Washington—and many states, parents and parent groups are forming coalitions,
lobbying lawmakers, creating new schools, and generally bringing about school
change.
But this hasn't always been the case, and it's
certainly not the case in many school districts, where underserved
communities of minority, low-income, and rural families don't always have the
tools to become involved. And schools can be at loss for how to empower
parents to increase student achievement.
How can the forces at play come together to create an
environment where parents play an active and positive role in school
improvement? And what obligation does the federal government have in playing
a helpful role? Our guests will explore the necessary levers that schools and
parents can use to drive real change.
