Advocating for the Rights of the Child through Family-School Collaboration
Miller, Gloria E.; Colebrook, Jessica; Ellis, Benjamin R.
Journal of Educational & Psychological Consultation, v24 n1 p10-27 2014
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2014 as the premier international human rights treaty focused on childhood rights and protections. In this article, we briefly review the 41 substantive principles embodied in the 54 Articles of the Convention and stress the need for educators, and specifically school psychologists, to work in concert with families to promote these premises through effective collaborative partnerships. Finally, we review examples of how the themes and positive ideology of the Convention can be enhanced through family--school collaboration infused into schooling practices within a multitiered service delivery framework to meet the learning and development best interests of the child.
