The Case for Parent Leadership

The Case for Parent Leadership includes:

• The research-based rationale about how parent leadership programs can help educators deliver on the promise of standards-based reform
• Examples of successful parent leadership in action from inner-city New York to rural Kentucky
• Checklists and mini-quizzes to gauge how parent-friendly your schools are
• The differences among a Fortress School, Come-if-we-Call School and a Partnership School
• Practical advice for parents, educators and policymakers on what they can do—right now—to promote the kind of parent involvement that will have a sustained impact on student learning.

KSA-Plus Communications is the nation’s leading firm in communicating the complexities of school improvement in clear language and powerful images and in helping education and community leaders build the public support necessary for high-achieving schools.

The Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence has been the catalyst for school improvement in Kentucky for more than two decades. Through its Commonwealth Institute for Parent Leadership (CIPL), the Prichard Committee has educated an army of parents who understand how schools need to change and who now have the leadership skills to help educators make and sustain improvements.
