Book Synopsis No Parent Left Behind by : Pamela Petrosino
Download or read book No Parent Left Behind written by Pamela Petrosino. This book was released on 2006. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of an elementary school is to educate all children. However, the growing number of students per school and the increased demands placed upon teachers make this more challenging every year. An involved parent is often the difference between a child who thrives in school, and one who merely goes to school. Yet, it is nearly impossible to help your child when you don't understand everything that is happening at school. The purpose of this book is to change all of that. No Parent Left Behind is a guide written to inform and empower parents of elementary school children. Its easy-to-understand language makes it an indispensable tool for all parents. This book is the first of its kind to take the language of education and define all the words, phrases, and processes involved in a child's school. The chapters are separated so that parents can easily open to a specific chapter to gain insight, understanding, and learn helpful tips. Petrosino and Spiegel cover every aspect of elementary education, including how to work with your child at home, and how to prepare your infant or toddler for success in elementary school. Parents never again need to feel insecure when entering their child's school or feel unsure about what is happening at school. Now, parents finally have a manual to guide them through their child's elementary education, whether a child is a regular education, gifted or special education student. This book will teach parents how to better support their child in the classroom and at home to ensure his or her educational success.

Book Synopsis Involving Parents in "No Child Left Behind" by : Ruth Anne Landsverk
Download or read book Involving Parents in "No Child Left Behind" written by Ruth Anne Landsverk. This book was released on 2004. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), a major reform of the ESEA, was passed by Congress and signed into law on January 8, 2002. NCLB redefines the federal role in K-12 education and aims to help close the achievement gap between disadvantaged and minority students and their peers. NCLB is very complex and has many requirements with which state and local school districts must comply. This Learning Together booklet examines the major areas in which NCLB requires schools to involve and inform parents. It provides overviews of the NCLB Act, explains NCLB requirements, offers action steps for parent notification and involvement, and suggests strategies for communities to unite in improving the education of all children. Section 1 offers an overview of the NCLB and articles to help parents and educators understand how the law impacts schools and children's learning. Section 2 explains the requirements for parental notification and involvement under NCLB. Section 2A describes NCLB parent notification requirements; Section 2B describes NCLB parent involvement requirements. Both Sections 2A and 2B offer ideas, strategies, and sample materials schools can use to carry out the requirements in ways that families will understand and find useful. Section 3 provides strategies for families, schools, and communities to work together to improve education for all children. This document is intended to be a useful resource for district and building-level teams of teachers, parents, administrators, and community members to review as they consider ways to carry out NCLB directives, school improvement goals, and partnership-strengthening practices that help every child learn.

Book Synopsis Despite the Best Intentions by : Amanda E. Lewis
Download or read book Despite the Best Intentions written by Amanda E. Lewis. This book was released on 2015-08-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the surface, Riverview High School looks like the post-racial ideal. Serving an enviably affluent, diverse, and liberal district, the school is well-funded, its teachers are well-trained, and many of its students are high achieving. Yet Riverview has not escaped the same unrelenting question that plagues schools throughout America: why is it that even when all of the circumstances seem right, black and Latino students continue to lag behind their peers? Through five years' worth of interviews and data-gathering at Riverview, John Diamond and Amanda Lewis have created a rich and disturbing portrait of the achievement gap that persists more than fifty years after the formal dismantling of segregation. As students progress from elementary school to middle school to high school, their level of academic achievement increasingly tracks along racial lines, with white and Asian students maintaining higher GPAs and standardized testing scores, taking more advanced classes, and attaining better college admission results than their black and Latino counterparts. Most research to date has focused on the role of poverty, family stability, and other external influences in explaining poor performance at school, especially in urban contexts. Diamond and Lewis instead situate their research in a suburban school, and look at what factors within the school itself could be causing the disparity. Most crucially, they challenge many common explanations of the 'racial achievement gap,' exploring what race actually means in this situation, and why it matters. An in-depth study with far-reaching consequences, Despite the Best Intentions revolutionizes our understanding of both the knotty problem of academic disparities and the larger question of the color line in American society.
