5.0

As a parent who works and travels its often hard to feel connected to my kids school life. Eric Robinson presents this book as a plan that teachers and parents can use to get more connected and engaged with the daily ongoings at school. More than just lecturing about why it needs to be done, he actually brings worksheets and the tools needed to help develop long term plans to engage both groups.

Example activities are presented, fundraisers, Parent-Teacher conferences, chaperoning field trips. All of these are good examples that many of us working parents just don’t seem to have the time for. By presenting this as not only good for the family, but also good for the community it helps to drive both teacher and parents to work together.
