Ensuring the success of children in school requires that parents take a proactive approach to their child's education. Building partnerships with teachers, influencing your child's class placement, identifying your child's learning style, identifying when and where tutors are needed, and volunteering to ensure that your child's school becomes a great school are all part of what's needed to ensure the best education for your child.

This book outlines easy to follow steps for parents and teachers to better understand children so that we can better direct them. The steps help parents and teachers to easily identify a child's personality type, learning style, Multiple Intelligences (or the ways in which they are smart), best and worst learning situations and dreams and aspirations.

Parents learn how to share their information with their child's classroom teachers to better help teachers to make more meaningful connections with children.

Parents also learn how to quickly assess a school's climate and culture; whether or not teachers personalize student success within their classrooms; and whether or not teachers have pre-existing biases toward, and stereotypes of, children.

Parents learn how to become more actively involved in ensuring their child's success in school and success in learning.

Parents also learn how to create a vision; a household of high expectations; and how to help their children stay focused on their dreams.
