Never has reaching out and connecting with parents been so easy and effective. Responding to the national call for stronger home-school connections, Patricia Edwards, Ph.D., an acclaimed expert on parent involvement in schools, has created an indispensable resource for K-6 teachers, principals, and district administrators - packed with research-based and classroom-tested strategies. Many books have been written on parent involvement, but few provide the needed direction for implementing an effective and successful family-involvement program. This book groups “must-do” strategies into three areas so you can approach parents in an organized way with accessible, ready-to-use ideas:
• Gathering information about parents and families
• Analyzing and sharing information with colleagues
• Communicating with and recruiting parents
A home-school partnership may well be the key to a successful learning year for all involved. 96 pages. ©2009.
