This week-long workshop examines the parent/teacher relationship and explores how parents and teachers can become partners in the educational process. Participants will gain an understanding of the parent/teacher relationship and the broader parent/school relationship through readings by prominent scholars such as Comer, Esptein, Lareau, Bratlinger, Gavin, Delpit, Delgado-Giatian, Nakwagwa and others. Participants can expect to develop approaches that will enhance the relationship between parent and teacher while promoting academic success for students.
