How are you doing on your plan?
Vertina, Thank you for your help with the websites. I got a lot of information that will help me a tremendously. I appreciate your feedback. Good luck with your plan.
ReplyDeleteVertina, Thank you for your support and feedback in this class. I feel that you have a lot of great information and I can feel your passion for improving parent involvement through your blog. I wish you the best in the future. Hopefully we can both find ways to reach those hard to reach parents and show them how important their involvement in their child's education is.
ReplyDeleteVertina, When schools, families, and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and like school more.
ReplyDeleteAccording to the National Network of Partnership Schools, for parent involvement to flourish, it must be meaningfully integrated into a school's programs and community. The network developed a framework of six types of parent involvement that schools can use to guide their efforts. It says schools can:
• Help families with parenting and child-rearing skills;
• Communicate with families about school programs and student progress and needs;
• Work to improve recruitment, training, and schedules to involve families as volunteers in school activities;
• Encourage families to be involved in learning activities at home;
• Include parents as participants in important school decisions; and
• Coordinate with businesses and agencies to provide resources and services for families, students, and the community
