Synopsis

In today's educational climate, advocacy is a critical part of any teacher or leader's job. Advocacy From A to Z unpacks the difficult task of understanding the movers and shakers-including teachers, parents, the union, legislatures, and policy makers-that impact your school, affect your students, and shape policy. Organized into 26 chapters-one for each letter of the alphabet- this book provides school-based examples and specific strategies needed to be a successful advocate for education. Advocacy begins at the local level, and the newest book in the A to Z series helps educational leaders navigate, plan, and shape their message to the right people at the right time. Now you can find your voice and become an active advocate to help your students succeed.
