Empowering Parents: A Guide to Taking Control of Your Child's Educational Journey - Hardcover

A comprehensive handbook that serves as an educational "bible" and roadmap for parents, students, educators and anyone desiring to assist children along their journey from pre-school to college and beyond. Readers will be inspired to become proactive and strategically ensuring the academic success of America's children. The College and University reviews of forty-five schools across the country offers a first-hand account of the campus life and the quality of the education. It is certain, after reading this book, each of us will be better equipped for the task at hand.

Marsha Dodson and Darlene Willis have carefully woven together their personal experiences as parents and founders of a College Bound Program with answers to frequently asked questions that often remain unanswered. They candidly remind parents of their God-given responsibility to teach, guide and nurture children. This book gently admonishes against entrusting the learning process solely to the local school. On the contrary, it does not release teachers, principals, administrators and elected officials from being accountable. Dodson and Willis have compiled a gem for parents, students, educators and anyone interested in making sure that children receive a quality education. They are pioneers in organizing parent groups to work in conjunction with local school districts.
