- Summary:
-
Providing training for teachers and educators in home-school-community involvement is important for an obvious reason: schools don't operate in a vacuum. To be successful in the primary mission of educating the community's children, educators need to know a great deal about the community and the families from which the children come. The focus of this manual is the crucial role the classroom teacher plays in parent and community involvement efforts. It may be used as a reference, as the basis for a course, or in individual units for topical presentations. After an introductory unit on the social environment and forces that are necessitating educational reform, the text covers: (1) demographics and trends influencing public education; (2) changing attitudes; (3) what the research is saying; (4) a framework for parent involvement; (5) principles for successful programs and strategies for reducing home-school barriers; (6) implementation strategies; (7) building bridges between home and school; and (8) school volunteer programs. Information on the Family Involvement Partnership for Learning and a list of members of the National Coalition for Parent and Community Involvement in Education (NCPIE) are also included. Contains 55 references. (EV)
