In today’s economy, where getting a good education has never been more important and school resources are stretched beyond points that most of us can remember, it is imperative that parents be fully engaged in their child’s education, both at home and at school. Parents play an integral role regardless of their ability to assist their children in specific subject areas or skills by encouraging their student to promote competence, control, and positive attitudes towards academics. Whether you are an educator or a parent, this book discusses barriers and methods to overcome them in order to build parental awarenesss while partnering with effective school communication to better become involved in the learning of their children.

Industry Reviews

Dr. Wages has written an insightful book that helps build a bridge of understanding between parents and educators. She helps provide a unique perspective where misunderstandings can occur between parties in what can sometimes be stressful meetings. She also answers many questions parents may have about types of education available to our children and provides a clearer view of how school systems work and the rights of parents. As a foster parent who works with children of different backgrounds and challenges, I found Wages' words especially helpful in this guidebook, which I would have greatly appreciated when raising my biological children as well. For the parent, the educator, or anyone who has an interest in the educational well being of our children, this is an invaluable read that I highly recommend. -- Karen Maple-Foster, parent
Dr. Michele Wages has included information for not only parents, but teachers because of what is represented in the book. I am just starting my career in Education and have a young child at home, so as someone reading this text I feel that reader has better insight as what to expect when in the school setting. This book is well written and easy to follow making the information that much more understandable and enjoyable to read. -- Jenna Phipps, parent and elementary teacher
