Due to demand, the book Pocket Guide for the Educational Advocate is now available for pre-order. Get yours now before it even hits the bookstores.
Anyone who is a parent or educational employee is in essence, an educational advocate; or should be. Older students may need to advocate themselves at times also - and anyone interested
in the quality and responsibility of education should be equipped to advocate if need be.
This easy to follow guide is your first step in empowerment.
Educational systems can sometimes intimidate and manipulate; they may have policies on paper but those policies may not be adhered to with the responsibility or education that they
deserve. Alternatively, the school or college may be doing all that they can and it is up to you to know when to fight a battle or accept the reality of what is and what is not legal and
ethical.
This is the starting point in which to ascertain the situation and bring positive closure, and sometimes, empowerment and rights to the forefront. This guide is packed with valuable
information, mock letters and communications that you can use, and specific processes on how to file complaints to the Department of Education as well as inside tips on how to protect
yourself or your child, and your rights.
