PP - Parents Confidence
Kaser and Halbert quote that, "Parents want to have confidence in their school and in the system as a whole." This is an interesting comment because I believe that parents although they want to have confidence in the system, they need to recognize that they are a part of the educational system. They are essential to the effective inner workings. I do believe that parents often may not realize that they are essential simply because they may not feel welcome or as educated as they need to be, to be part of the system. It is our job as leaders to help integrate parents as an essential part of the education system.

Wow. Good PP. I find a dichotomy between elementary and secondary schools. I feel that parents connect better with the elementary system. Why is that? Is it because they felt more success there when they went through?
ReplyDeleteYou see that students are more successful when parents are involved in their child's school life. Some children have no social, emotional or academic support from their parents. This is a role where a leader has to step in. How can one as a leader even out the playing field so all can achieve to their own potential.
Good quote and PP
