The roles that students, parents and educators each must G.R.A.S.P. to ensure educational success.

Returning to America after twenty years as a successful educator and educational consultant in Africa, James Ingram had the objective eye of an outsider and could see clearly the needs of America’s educational system. Using his experience as a teacher, trainer and writer of curricula for rural development communities, Ingram has now written G.R.A.S.P. Education to outline exactly what is needed to ensure that each parent, student and school administrator align each of their responsibilities toward the overall educational success of their community. Acknowledging that both parents and school officials want to provide the best education possible for children, Ingram shows that only by the active participation of each in a mutual dialogue about the educational process can the scholastic goals of their communities be met. G.R.A.S.P is the author’s concise acronym for the five traits that each corner of a community’s educational triangle – student, parent and educator -- must understand and employ together to provide the best education possible for their children.G.R.A.S.P. Education offers a timely and much needed road map through the tangled traffic in the American educational system today.
