Family Leadership at IDRA Actionable Data -- There are many aspects of
IDRA’s approach to family leadership but one key
element is that the families are presented with data
about their schools and are asked to take action on the
data. If the students are doing poorly in math, the
families investigate further into what is blocking the
learning of math and what can help students learn math.
Collective Leadership -- Rather than identifying
the super-mom, the approach looks toward forming
community and supporting families to take on many roles
together to improve schools.
Education Projects -- Projects are taken on that
focus on school policies and practices that will have
significant effect in improving schools.
