The Importance and Benefits of Parent Engagement
There are a number of ways for teachers to involve parents in schools. Families benefit from learning how to help their children with school and with specific guidance and support, they can become increasingly involved in home learning activities and find themselves with opportunities to teach, to be models for, and to guide their children. On this page, you will find concrete tools with links to help you as you strive to increasingly involve parents.
Researchers and educators designed, implemented, and tested a partnership process called Teachers Involve Parents in Schoolwork (TIPS) Interactive Homework. With TIPS, any teacher can regularly keep more families informed and involved in their children's learning and help more students complete their homework.
