While Learning First Alliance resources are intended primarily to assist policymakers and educators, our work also has implications for parents engaged in the effort to improve public education and help their children succeed. Many Alliance publications provide information that can inform parents about important and timely issues in education policy and practice. Some Alliance resources also provide specific guidance to parents about engaging productively in their children’s educational lives. Additionally, many Alliance member organizations provide a wealth of resources to assist parents. See below for resource ideas.
