I personally have taken a very pro active role in the education of my daughters from their first day of preschool to the present day and I will continue to do so.
Through my experiences serving on the preschool Board of Parents to the three years I served as Parent Advisory Council Chair, Vice Chair, and Treasurer I learned fast how to navigate the system both from an official capacity and as a parent.
At times, doing so has been easier than others.
The BC Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils (BCCPAC) have prepared some very helpful resource tools for parents advocating for their children.
Here is a link to a resource booklet for parents titled "Speaking Up - A parent guide to advocating for students in public schools"
And here is two additional links from the BCCPAC:
"S E L F - H E L P G U I D E - Meeting Survival"
"S E L F - H E L P G U I D E - Problem-Solving"
