“Leading schools for decades, it wasn’t until I read this book that I realised I had been raising my children with my teachers hat on. My perspective has changed at home and in the schools I lead. It’s a must read for every school leader and teaching team.’
Christine Cunniffe - Head LVS Ascot UK
How do you keep up with parents who are more informed and active than ever?
You get on board!
Parents are forming independent, parent-led Leading Learning Groups to navigate education and stay informed. A Leading Learning Group is not a parents and friends group, and it is not affiliated with, or governed by, your school board or council - it is an independent group of parents dedicated to learning and participating in decisions on matters related to their children's education.
Understand their purpose, and the benefit of getting on board, and you turn a potential source of friction into one of your school's greatest assets.
“Cheryl Lacey’s Your Children: Take the Lead on Their Education is a must read for all parents and expectant mothers and fathers. She provides valuable, practical, first-hand counsel on the importance of education and the critical role parents play in navigating their child’s education. The book is a terrific resource.”
Dr. Michael Gargano, Jr, Ed.D. University Executive Leadership, Connecticut, USA

With First Principles Leadership
Many educators are also parents. This dual role can create conflicts: between professional loyalty and parent advocacy, between what you know and what other parents don't. We explore the fundamental principles that bring students, parents, and the school together.
Leadership challenges are full of possibility - yet the pressure to conform or act without deep reflection limits principled action. This colloquium is an introspective for leaders ready to activate the potential of first principles and navigate those challenges with clarity. (A third day on ‘The Home | School | Work | Life Relationship is also available.
Understand the what, the how and the principles behind Leading Learning Groups. You’ll unlock the potential of stronger relationships with families and transform your strategy for schoolwide success. How? School communities founded on First Principles.
When parents take the lead on their children's education and schools support that through clear, agreed boundaries, a principled relationship thrives. Together we look at how home, school, work, life, and relationships intersect, and what happens when boundaries are agreed rather than assumed. This colloquium changes perception and offers extraordinary results.
