SITE MISSION

Our mission is simple: To promote cooperation between schools and school
divisions, and parents, taxpayers and other stakeholders in the education
process.


THE IMPORTANCE OF WORKING TOGETHER

There is simply no substitute for getting parents onside and involved in their
child's education and life at school. It's not always an easy task. Sometimes
parent-teacher conversations get heated. One of our goals here is to help
teachers defuse those heated conversations.

It truly does take a village to educate a child. Educators need the cooperation
of parents as partners in the educational process. In an ideal world, all
parents would be onside, and parents, teachers and school administrators would
always agree on the best practices for teaching children. Alas, that's never
going to happen. First, not all parents are great parents, in the same way not
all teachers are top notch. Second, while both parents and teachers can be
committed to the education of students, the fly in the ointment is how that
commitment translates into determining the best course of action for each child.

Disagreements happen. And those disagreements can be emotionally charged. And if
those disagreements aren't resolved, parents and school staff can end up working
in different directions. It's the student that suffers.


WHAT YOU'LL FIND HERE

To further the goal of building bridges between parents and teachers, we
provide a number of resources. Our readership is primarily educational
personnel, but parents too, will find useful material in our library section.

   emotional, upset and even aggressive parents.

   community, and taxpayers that are applicable to al educational staff, from
   school board trustees, right down to the support staff that keep everything
   running.
 * Addtional articles, both inspiratonal and instructional for educators, in our
   articles section
 * An opportunity to comment on each page, and to interact with other educators.
   Parents are also invited to participate in the comments section at the bottom
   of each page. Commenting guidelines are available here.

MAKING SENSE OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH

In this series of articles we explain the issues with various sources and forms
of educational research, and why and how it's easy to make the wrong education
decisions unless you understand how research is done.

Part 1: Overview Of Educational Research, and What It's REALLY For.

Part 2: Understanding The Faults Of The Peer Reviewed Educational Journal
Publishing System

Part 3: Pop Education Books: Often they look authoritative but beware of relying
on their interpretations even if they look objective and accurate. (Kohn, Pink,
Gladwell)
