High Schools Gear Up To Create Effective School and Family Partnerships.
Hollifield, John H., Ed.
Research and Development Report, n5 June 1994
Parent involvement in their children's schooling declines dramatically as students move through middle school and high school, though students still want and need their parents' help to reach educational goals. This newsletter presents several articles on partnerships between schools and families and between families and community programs. The title article describes a collaborative effort at six schools to identify parent-school partnership practices that are appropriate at the high school level, how the schools can develop and implement such practices, and how the practices actually affect those involved. The remaining articles are: (1) "Small Wins of Family Literacy Programs Can Be Extended into Middle Schools"; (2) "How Parent Centers Strengthen Family, School, and Community Relationships in Four Urban Schools"; (3) "A Manual Provides Guidelines for Coaching in Community Programs"; and (4) "Moving toward Comprehensiveness in Integrating Family Services through Collaboration and Empowerment: How Are We Doing?"
