Epstein, Joyce L.; And Others
Designed to help teachers promote a teacher-parent partnership process, this manual describes the Teachers Involve Parents in Schoolwork (TIPS) program in language arts, science, and health. The manual covers the TIPS Interactive Homework Process, focusing on overcoming obstacles, TIPS activities, the process of informing parents, and students' roles. A detailed description about ways to develop, implement, and evaluate a TIPS homework project is provided, and answers to 10 commonly asked questions that teachers and parents ask about TIPS interactive homework, and other types of parent involvement, are given. Appendices include descriptions of sample activities for language arts, science, and health, and a summary of research results on parent involvement. Ordering information for TIPS prototype activities in elementary math and science, and middle school language arts, science, and health, is included. (MM)
