Abstract
- One of the best guarantees of a child's success in school is his or her parents' involvement in education. This resource guide provides information in the following areas: (1) family types; (2) expectations of parents, teachers, and administrators; (3) barriers encountered by parents and teachers; (4) home environment improvements through family education and home activities; and (5) school environment improvements through volunteer programs and school councils. Existing programs are reviewed. Strategies for state action are outlined. Recommendations in each area are offered for teachers, administrators, and parents. Resources in each area are provided. Participants in the "Drawing in the Family" Invitational Conference (held on May 12, 1988 in St. Louis, Missouri) and Project Planning Meeting (held on January 22, 1988) are listed. Personal anecdotes and childrens' illustrations accompany the text. (BJV)
