| Summary: | The Families in Education Program of the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction has existed since 1987 to increase awareness of the need for schools to involve parents as true partners in the education of children. This parents' guide true partners in the education of children. This parent's guide presents ways that parents and families of both younger children and high school students can become involved in their children's academic success. The guide includes articles on parents' roles as participating partners in their child's school and education. Articles in the guide suggest that schools set up "parent/family centers" to make schools more parent-friendly, and consider two-way communication opportunities between parents and teachers, including PTA's or PTO's and parent-teacher conferences. Other articles in the guide explore how to build parenting and family skills through parent-child activities, ways to strengthen connections between families and the community, ideas for family volunteer efforts at school and in community service, and questions for Parent Teacher Conferences. A summary of the National Education Goals for the year 2000 is included. (CJ) |
