Family Involvement in Children's Education: Successful Local Approaches

This idea book describes how some schools and their communities have overcome key barriers -- finding the time, increasing their information about each other, bridging school-family differences, improving programs and tapping external supports to strengthen school-family partnerships. Profiles of 20 successful partnerships between parents and elementary/secondary schools are a highlight, as they reflect cultural, geographic and socio-economic diversity. Despite the emphasis on elementary and secondary children, many of the strategies and examples apply to early childhood and early intervention.
