How can progressives successfully challenge the powerful forces behind misguided school reform efforts?

Celebrate American Education Week

Nov 15th, 2010

American Education Week (AEW) spotlights the importance of providing every child in America with a quality public education from kindergarten through college, and the need for everyone to do his or her part in making public schools great.

The involvement of parents in their child’s education is key to their success. Ongoing research shows that parental involvement in schools improves student achievement, reduces absenteeism, and restores confidence among parents in their children’s education.
