Parent Involvement Matters
We are advocates for building collaborative family-school-community partnerships that advance student learning and achievement.
We view achievement broadly, beyond grades and test scores, placing equal emphasis on the importance of a child's social, emotional, and intellectual learning and development.
Sponsored by the nonprofit National ParentNet Association, we are a leading resource on how to engage families in the education and positive development of their children. Our site offers many free resources, including a growing Consultant Directory of professionals who work with schools in the family engagement field. We are also the home of ParentNet, a parent-led program in schools that engages parents in conversations about raising healthy, successful kids in grades Pre-K to 12.
Coming Soon!
Meet our new bloggers and check back in late January 2012 for the launch of our new blog, ParentNet® Unplugged. A collaborative group of nationally known education professionals will deliver commentary, share best practices, and facilitate frank conversations about family engagement in the following six areas:
- Parent Engagement at Home
- School-Family Partnerships
- Diverse Families
- Technology
- Out-of-School-Time
- Education Policy
