Narrowing the Achievement Gap: Parental Engagement and Children's Learning

0/5 ( ratings)

This book proposes a radical change to our conception of learning, education and schooling, arguing that parental engagement is the best lever we have for school improvement and closing the achievement gap. Each chapter explores how schools can actively engage with parents and communities to reinstate education in the home, and to generate support to combat issues out of their control, including poverty, deprivation, and a lack of social capital. Although schools have an integral part to play in this process, parents and society must reconsider their own educational responsibility, regardless of background, and the book offers a solid research base and practical suggestions to help do so.
