Ginger,
I also work with parents. My area of interest is parents initiating
change and reform in a school. Parent empowerment. This information
is of great interest to me. It is what I am doing my dissertation on.
Have you read of schools that were changed when their parents were
introduced to an educational strategy or method. I am really impressed
that the principal would introduce their staff to information to get
the staff interested.

At one school I presented at the teachers were not implementing

strategy instruction and it was the parents who asked for it to be

the classrooms. The principal was able to "use" the interest of the
parent
population (this is the school where 50 parents attended) to begin
to move
her staff.
