A is for Advocacy: Principles for Academic Success

Do you want to feel more "in control" when it comes your child's academic journey? As a parent, have you experienced some difficulty in navigating the educational system? Maybe you need some guidance in knowing what to ask for and creating a plan of action as your child progresses through school. All parents want what's best for their children; especially academic success. Many know they that they want to be more involved but don't really have the direction or knowledge to do so.

After working through the chapters of this book, you'll be equipped and confident enough to have a seat at the table and gain results.
