Introducing Parent Involvement Matters.Org
You have known us as "ParentNet" for many years -- now we have taken our mission of building parent-school-community partnerships to a new level! With the recent launch of Parent Involvement Matters.Org, we offer more resources than ever before to parent leaders, trainers, and schools. Our Online Community Belongs to You
Although ParentNet is our "success story" and more than ten years of resources are available online, we also recognize there are many other efforts, large and small, in local school communities throughout the country. We invite and encourage you to share your successes so others may learn from them! There are lots of ways to get involved, from sharing stories, articles, and research to browsing programs, organizations, and reader ideas that can help make a difference for your parent-school community. Join Our Consultant Directory
We are committed to connecting professional advocates for parental involvement in education with the schools and parents who need your services! You are invited to list your services in our free Consultant Directory if you are a parent educator, trainer, organization development practitioner, certified parent coach, psychologist, speaker, consultant, ParentNet trainer, or other professional who works with parents and/or schools to increase parent involvement or build parent-school partnerships.
