Families and Schools Working Together
“Teachers must be trained to promote effective parent/family involvement
in children’s education… It cannot be assumed that teachers
will naturally know how to promote effective parent/family involvement…
Professional and in-service training for teachers that focuses on working
with families is not yet widely available.” (Kessler-Sklar & Baker, 2000) Referenced in The Impact of Parent/Family Involvement
on Student Outcomes: An Annotated Bibliography of Research from the
Past Decade. Susanne Carter, available through CADRE.
