Slide 31 WE START WITH OUR OWN CORE BELIEFS Slide 32 Essential Core Beliefs Core Belief One All parents have dreams for their children and want the best for them. I believe that all parents hold big expectations for the role that schools will play in the life chances of their children. They all harbor a large wish list of dreams and aspirations for their youngsters. All families care deeply about their childrens education and hope that their progeny will be happier, more productive, and more successful than they have been in their lives. (Lightfoot, 2003) Slide 33 Core Belief Two All parents have the capacity to support their children's learning. Slide 34 Core Belief Three Parents and school staff should be equal partners. Slide 35 Core Belief Four The responsibility for building and sustaining partnerships between school, home, and community rests primarily with school staff, especially school leaders.
