| This course explains why some parents are harder to reach than others and provides strategies that make it more likely that every parent will become a stronger partner. Also explores a teacher's unconscious reluctance to share the teaching role with moms and dads and provides strategies to improve leadership skills. Based on the Self Theory of Carol Dweck and the Invitational Schools model of W.W. Purkey, this course discusses why strong parent-teacher relationships are important but also why partnering with parents is more than just "parent involvement". |
