How Parents Can Help their Children Succeed

I recently ran across a report, Doing What Matters Most:  How Parents Can Help Their Children Succeed in School.  IN reviewing 30 years of research, they found four key things parents can do:

1.  Have high expectations,
2.  Talk about school at home,
3.  Help students develop positive attitudes about learning and a good work ethic, and
4.  Read with their sons and daughters.

Here's a tip sheet, designed for principals, with concrete suggestions for each of these four areas.
