The content explains or advises on: • The main objectives of the National Curriculum; • How each objective is likely to be taught; • Issues or difficulties that affect learning; • How parents can help with homework and support learning at home. The book aims to: • Enhance parental knowledge about teaching and learning; • Encourage more effective collaboration between schools and parents; • Stimulate parents to become valued partners in their child’s education; • Empower parents to push for their child to achieve full potential; • Inspire parents of children with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities to aim high and achieve success.
