What is the role of the parent in the Lion Quest programme?
The Parent plays a very important role. Their active involvement is one of the goals of the LIONS-QUEST Programs. One of the underlying principles clearly defined in all Quest materials is that the parents are the first and primary teachers to their children. The parent’s book “The Surprising Years” and the training, serve as a resource to the teachers in supporting parents and reinforcing the traditional values at home. Schools are provided with complete plans and suggestions for conducting four meetings, to inform parents about the values and skills being taught in these programs. There is an Awareness Workshop for the parents and they are given the Parent Manual -“The Surprising Years” to encourage active parent’s interest, in shared homework assignments. Parents are invited to be on the implementation team called as the School Climate Team, This team has mature leaders for implementing Service Learning Projects and to assist sometimes in the classrooms as guides.
