The Dropout Nation Podcast: Five Codes of Parent Power

Dropout Nation Podcast Cover

On this week’s Dropout Nation Podcast, I take some observations from an inside-the-Beltway confab and focus on one area school reformers must do better at: Building Parent Power and family engagement. By embracing these five steps, we can help parents help their kids write their own stories.
