Fostering Parent Engagement for Equitable and Successful Schools acknowledges and unpacks what educators have known for a long time: parents are the primary teachers of their children. This engaging book explores how schools can improve their relationship with parents and caregivers to develop a more equitable educational environment for all students. Designed for district and school leaders, this practical book helps readers apply the many leadership lessons taught in training programs and education leadership courses to improve their parent engagement as a function of effective education and not compliance. Full of real-world examples, reflection questions, “Actionable Ideas” checkpoints, and additional resources, this valuable resource encourages reflection while challenging leaders to improve and leverage parent and caregiver involvement in their children's education.

This would provide an opportunity for teachers and students to put some sort of annual closer to the school year. Absent doing this, I fear that it would prevent a "clean reset" for the start of the next school year. We have witnessed schools scramble to convert to online/video lessons.
