PTA National Standards for Family-School Partnership: Implementation Guide

PTA developed the National Standards for Family-School Partnerships Implementation Guide to empower PTA leaders, parents, educators, community members, and students to work together for the educational success of all children and youth. Research consistently demonstrates the benefits of family-school community partnerships: * Higher teacher morale * Increased communication among parents, teachers, and school leaders * More parent involvement in supporting teaching and learning * More community support for the school * Greater student success But effectively engaging families and communities in schools to support student learning takes a true commitment to shared leadership and collaboration. Here you’ll find a comprehensive and practical guide to achieving high standards for involvement.

Collaborating with Families

The IRIS Center and the PACER Center have created an interactive, online module to support educators in diversifying and improving family participation in school. In the module, a principal and staff demonstrate how they gain information about of their students' families because this helps them best engage all members of a family in education. Many schools enjoy a high level of parental involvement from some families, but schools should be ever-interested in increasing involvement, especially among families of students with disabilities.
