A Parent's Guide to School Involvement
收录日期：2007年10月14日, 22:44:26
This guide was developed to help parents and communities become more involved in their children’s education.
Why do schools need parent and community support?
Thirty years of research clearly shows that parent and community involvement in schools improves student achievement. To reach their potential, students need parents and the community to take an active role in their education.
Schools are working hard to provide a high quality education for every child. But they can't do it alone. Parent and community involvement is critical to creating great schools.
What can I do to be involved?
There are many ways parents, other adults who play an important role in a child's life, and community groups can be involved with children's education at home, at school and in the community.
What can I do at school?
As a parent, or an adult who plays an important role in the life of a child, your involvement in your child's education at school and at home shows your child that you value education. Teachers can see that you care about your children's learning. You can provide teachers with the most reliable source of information about your child. The partnership between you and your child's teacher is powerful.
Here are some ways you can be involved in your child's education each year at school:
- Make a date with the teacher to visit your child's classroom. Are the kids busy learning, exploring and asking questions? Does the teacher draw them in?
- Go to parent-teacher conferences. If the school doesn't have them, meet with your child's teachers. Ask how your child is doing and review his work.
- Join the PTA or other parent group. Go to school events, like back-to-school night. As a group, see how you can help the school reach its goals.
- Stay up-to-date on school policies, schedules and rules. Ask about opportunities to participate in the development of school policies.
- Make sure that your child is learning what she needs to know to meet the standards set for her grade level.
- Find a teacher or counselor you feel comfortable talking to about your child. Talk about the courses she should take to reach her goals. Do they match what the standards say she should be learning? Will they prepare her for college and a career?
- Check your school's Web site regularly.
- Contact your child's teacher or counselor if you have any concerns about what's going on with your child at school.
How can my community be involved in my child's school?Here are some ways communities, parents and teachers can work together to provide a high quality education to all of their children:
- Establish school-business partnerships. Schools and business can work together to prepare students for further education and for life as productive members of their communities.
- Employers can grant parents leave to attend school meetings, conferences, or to volunteer in the school.
- Engage in activities to better meet the needs of children and their families. For example, the county health department can schedule regular visits to the school health clinic. Social service workers can meet with school counselors. After-school program providers can operate homework clubs utilizing textbooks and other materials provided by the school.
- Establish and operate a mentoring program for "at risk" students through the involvement of volunteers from community, civic and religious organizations, local businesses, or the Chamber of Commerce.
- Check out public libraries, which are strong educational partners. They can sponsor story hours for preschoolers and their parents, special programs that motivate children to read, or specialized evening topics of interest to parents.
- Ask businesses, PTA's, churches and civic organizations to provide valuable services for schools. Many are excellent sources of volunteers, and many sponsor evening or after-school tutoring programs for students who need extra help, organize drives to collect school supplies for needy students, and raise funds for scholarships.
- Recommend that schools in your community remain open during the evening and on weekends to allow parents and neighbors to use the library, playground, computers and other equipment. Let local groups hold their meetings and special events at the school.
- Recruit retirees to volunteer in the schools and to share their experiences and expertise on relevant topics. Retirees have much to contribute to schools.

Tips to Communicate Effectively with Teachers 收录日期：2006年1月4日, 8:59:18
One of the most important roles parents can play in their child's education is to form a connection between their family and their child's teachers. When a new school year starts, attend back to school night to meet teachers. This is an opportunity to obtain an overview of how the teacher manages the class and what will be expected of your child. Listen carefully and ask questions. Use this meeting as an opportunity to understand how and when homework will be assigned, what it will involve, and how you can best communicate with your child's teachers.
Clear, Timely Communication
We cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of clear, timely communication in regard to homework. If your child has a history of struggling with learning or homework, we urge you to request a brief meeting with your child's teacher, specifically to discuss homework. In addition to phone calls and e-mails, face-to-face meetings, though occurring less frequently, may be your most effective means of developing an efficient communication system. It is critical that these brief meetings are initiated early in the school year. When meetings are held, be punctual and respect the teacher's time limits. Keep in mind the following guidelines:
- Be prepared. Bring samples of your child's homework you would like to discuss. Begin the conference with a positive comment.
- Be a good listener. Make sure you understand what is being said and take notes.
- Be honest. If you are struggling, say so. Do not blame anyone for homework problems. Focus on process and solutions.
- Ask questions and accept suggestions. Keep in mind that everyone wants what is best for your child.
Daily Home Notes
In some situations a daily home note can be an effective means of communication concerning homework between school and home. Daily home notes, sometimes referred to as daily report cards, can be effective for students experiencing homework problems. Such home notes provide an opportunity for parents to communicate with teachers and more closely monitor their child's daily school progress. Home notes can vary in detail. Most teachers maintain a file of different types of notes that can be used for specific problems. Home notes can be easily modified to meet each child's needs. To encourage your child to improve in school, it is important for you to emphasize to your child the role they play in bringing the note to and from school.
Although such notes can be quite helpful, at time they can also be harmful to the child. Nothing is more demeaning to a child struggling in school than to receive a negative note day after day. If a child can't meet classroom expectations, perhaps a new goal needs to be set that is more in line with the child's immediate ability.
Homework Tied to School Progress
We cannot over-emphasize the importance of communication between parents and teachers about student progress. If your child is struggling with homework, there is a good chance your child is also struggling with class work. It is your role as a parent to understand why your child may be having problems and what you and the school together can do to help.
