Building Successful Partnerships
Washington
State PTA Builds Partnerships – You Can Too!
Research
proves that schools with well-structured, consistent parent
involvement programs create success for students, teaches,
administrators, and overall school quality.
Through research and interviews with leaders throughout the
country, the National PTA identified six standards that may pave the
way for successful parent involvement programs.
These standards are known as National PTA’s Standards for
Parent/Family Involvement Programs.
They are:
- Communicating—Communication
between home and school is regular, two-way, and meaningful
- Parenting
– Parenting skills are promoted and supported
- Student
Learning – Parents play an integral role in assisting student
learning
- Volunteering
– Parents are welcome in the school, and their support and
assistance are sought
- School
Decision Making and Advocacy – Parents are full partners in
the decisions that affect children and families
- Collaborating
with the Community – Community resources are used to
strengthen schools, families, and student learning
Several
PTA leaders in Washington State have been trained as presenters of
the “Building Successful Partnerships” program, and they are
ready to give more detailed information and listen to your ideas.
