Family-School Partnerships
More than
30 years of research shows that family involvement
promotes student success. No matter what their
family income or background may be, students with
involved parents are more likely to
-
Earn
higher grades and test scores,
-
Pass
their classes,
-
Attend school regularly,
-
Have
better social skills and adapt well to school, and
-
Go
on to postsecondary education.
When
families, schools, and communities work together,
-
Student achievement improves,
-
Teacher morale rises,
-
Communication among parents, teachers, and
administrators increases, and
-
Family, school, and community connections multiply.
The
benefits of family-school-community partnerships are
many: higher teacher morale, more parent involvement,
and greater student success are only a few. That is
why PTA developed the
National Standards for Family-School Partnerships
Implementation Guide, a tool for empowering
people to work together with an end goal of building
family-school partnerships and student success.
