Use these practical strategies to engage parents and create more successful outcomes for students!

Would you like to see children score significantly higher on reading tests? Stay in school longer? Excel in academics? If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, you’re not alone! These goals, obtainable and achievable, are directly linked to parent involvement. By taking a committed role in their children’s education, parents make a direct, positive impact on academic achievement. With decades of research to support this claim, 176 Ways to Involve Parents, Second Edition, presents ready-to-use ideas to fully engage parents in the school community.

Containing numerous new strategies for building bridges between schools and families, this updated edition provides practical ways to:

  • Welcome parents as vital members of the school community
