Crosswalk Connection: A parents guide to bridging the gap between home and school.

Do you ever wish someone had given you a manual about how to ensure your child's education is all it should be? Well, here it is! Based on a series of workshops called P.E.P. Talks developed by Promoting Educational Partnerships Consulting, this book will provide parents with the basics for working with their child at home and with the school staff. Beginning with organizational strategies that will make homework and paper shuffling a breeze, you will also find advice about choosing the right school and learning environment, communicating effectively with teachers and principals, and even supporting the entire school through your time and effort. Whether you are a parent of a preschooler, elementary, middle, or even high-school student, it is not too late to implement some of these strategies for getting your child successfully through the K-12 education system.
