As parental involvement is a critical variable in a child's achievement, early childhood programs must not only welcome parents, but actively encourage and seek their participation in the education of their children. This comprehensive book organizes and presents parental involvement strategies in an easily accessible way that enables teachers and administrators to understand when and how to implement them appropriately. Areas discussed in detail include: working with families from diverse backgrounds, organizing parent group meetings, conferences and home visits, teacher-parent communication techniques, and utilizing support systems. A complete listing of resources for all types of families is also provided.
