Parent Involvement & The New NCLB Reauthorization Bill
Larry Ferlazzo at Engaging Parents In School... - 8 hours ago
The United States Senate is considering a new No Child Left Behind Reauthorization bill and, even though it’s highly unlikely it will go anywhere, it does appear to have some positive parent involvement elements. You can read more details about the parent involvement particulars over at Education Week. Two things stand-out, both which I’ve written [...]
Hmmm, Why Don’t I Have Much Confidence In Chicago Superintendent’s Parent Engagement Plan?
Larry Ferlazzo at Engaging Parents In School... - 2 days ago
Weeks after announcing the largest school closure plan in United States history — one developed with little or no parent input — the CEO of Chicago Public Schools announced a new parent engagement plan.

Larry Ferlazzo at Engaging Parents In School... - 4 days ago
image credit: gpb.org By Dana Sirotiak As in the words of Alice Cooper “Schools Out for Summer”! Well, at least it is very close.

Great Parent Trigger Post By Diane Ravitch
Larry Ferlazzo at Engaging Parents In School... - 1 week ago
I’ve previously posted in my other blog about controversy regarding wording recently used in a blog post about the parent trigger by Diane Ravitch.

What’s Missing In “Stand For Children” Article On Parent Engagement? Only The Most Important Thing….

Khalifa, an assistant professor of educational administration at Michigan State University in East [...]
“Chicago School Closures Galvanize Parent Activists”
Larry Ferlazzo at Engaging Parents In School... - 1 week ago
I think it’s safe to say the Chicago Public Schools have not generated a lot of the kind of parent engagement they would like as a result of its heavy-handed closure of 49 schools.

The ‘parent trigger’ trap is a good editorial in today’s Los Angeles Times.
