The Savvy Parent's Guide to Public School is a down-to-earth, practical guide to help parents navigate the often frustrating world of public education. Designed to empower parents to work effectively with teachers and school administrators, this book provides parents with the information and tools they need to become strong partners in their child's school community. The book includes twenty-nine assignments, two quizzes, and eleven challenges to help parents gather and organize information, learn how public schools work, and set up strong systems for communication with teachers and other school staff. The Workbook is a compilation of all the assignments, quizzes, and challenges included in the book, laid out in a convenient, user-friendly format. The workbook is appropriate for use in parent education and training groups, parent counseling sessions, and parent book groups. Those parents who are following the program for more than one child, or who wish to maintain a clean copy of the book, might also choose to use the workbook to complete the written work. "You will come away with a whole toolbox of ways to deal with schools and teachers, along with the confidence and experience to use those tools well. You need to be a strong partner in your child's education - teachers can't do it without you."
