Scruggs wrote this guide in a way that is purposefully succinct. Parent Champion is designed to motivate and educate parents to be their very best as school-partners.
Parents will be inspired to analyze, reflect, and take action in regards to how they co-educate their children by partnering with their child’s school. With practical strategies and tools, Parent Champion allows parents to take action immediately. As parents, you are the best champions for your child’s success. Being a Parent Champion means prioritizing (making the choice to give highest importance to) hands-on time and strategies for your child and their education.
As a parent, when you prioritize time invested in education, you are modeling your values that education is important and, therefore, championing your child’s academic and life success.
