Mobilizing the Community to Help Students Succeed
by Hugh B. Price
In Mobilizing the Community to Help Students Succeed, Hugh B. Price shares the lessons learned while helping to do just that during his tenure as president of the National Urban League. Here, find out how educators can apply some of the same tactics to inspire and award academic achievement in even the most challenged school districts.
According to Price, a highly informed and engaged community is essential to closing the achievement gap. This book underscores that community-based efforts to motivate student success can be effective because they have been effective. The message for educators, parents, business and civic leaders, and members of the general public is that their consistent and creative involvement will result in invigorated youngsters, inspired to achieve in school and in life.
Accompanied by personal vignettes, moving anecdotes from successful students, and an extensive resource list, the President of the National Urban League presents a wealth of valuable tips and strategies for parents, showing them how to obtain higher educational standards in their children's schools.
