“...tonight I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training. This can be community college, a four-year school, vocational training, or an apprenticeship. But whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high school diploma.”President Barack Obama’s address to a Joint Session of Congress, February 24, 2009.

High expectations and support are
critical for our students’ success. We know that involved parents and
families lead to more successful schools and better results for students.
Preparing your child for a bright future is our top priority, and we will progress faster when we work in partnership.

School leaders, principals must provide the
resources, energy, and lead by example.
Teachers, create the culture of partnership by modeling in both words and deeds to entire school community.
The responsibility for building partnerships between school and home
rests primarily with school staff, especially school leaders

Every increase in pressure on schools for
accountability for student performance should be accompanied by an equal investment in increasing the knowledge and skills of teachers, administrators, students, and their families, for learning about how to meet these new expectations. Richard Elmore

An effective way to determine whether
your school treats families as equal partners is to examine and evaluate how often parents/guardians are given the opportunity to provide input in important decisions.
Is your school ready to be equal partners with
families?
![Page 11: Partnering for Student Success](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568160c0550346895dcfe661/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
A Quick Assessment:
Does your school reach out to families outside of PTA/PTO?
Does your school invite families to observe in classrooms, review books and materials, and visit other schools for ideas?
Does your school invite families to attend staff development and faculty meetings?
![Page 12: Partnering for Student Success](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568160c0550346895dcfe661/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Does your school involve families in Action Research by first surveying families about aspects of home-school partnerships and then acting on the feedback? For example, does it request input regarding:
The best ways and times for home-school communication?
Family interest workshops? Family and student perceptions of school climate? Then does your school respond to this feedback?
Does your school offer workshops about topics suggested by families?
A Quick Assessment:

These questions help schools assess how
often they involve families in important decisions.
Answers to these questions help determine whether a school treats families as equal partners.
Let’s take a few minutes and write down an example of how your school partners with parents.
How does your family-school community partner
for success?

This partnership can bring about joint
efforts, one of which is link activities with
learning.

Once made a priority, the task of linking
parent involvement in learning will become
second nature .
