Principals, teachers and other school leaders will find resources that can help forge stronger community partnerships. A CONVERSATION WITH A SCHOOL-FAMILIES RESEARCHER The complete title of this excellent handout from Parent Leadership Associates, Inc. is "As a Parent, Here are 12 Things You Should Know About and Expect From Your Schools and Yourself." It describes why parent involvement is important, what parents should expect from schools, and what schools hope for from parents. Poorly run schools will want to avoid this one! Here's a quote: "You're more likely to get what you want for your child if you work with other parents. If you are in a school that is not parent-friendly, administrators might perceive you as a fruitcake or a member of a powerful organization, depending on how many allies you have."

Extractions: Information Literacy Blog Parent, Family, and Community Involvement in the Middle Grades. ERIC Digest. by Rutherford, Barry - Billig, Shelley H. A research project that was focused on family and community involvement in comprehensive districtwide programs, school restructuring, and adult and child learning programs in the middle grades provided an opportunity to examine nine local sites that presented unique challenges for family and community involvement. Two central questions were explored at all sites. First, how do schools and districts involve families and the community as partners in education reform? Second, how do schools and districts create partnerships that acknowledge the roles of the family, school, and community in the growth of the child, and how do these systems interact? By synthesizing findings across all nine sites, researchers developed a set of eight "lessons" which enrich our understanding of the critical and complex nature of school-family partnerships in the middle grades. LESSON 1: THE STAKES ARE HIGH AND IMMEDIATE FOR EVERYONE IN THE MIDDLE GRADES. In the middle grades, students make personal and educational decisions with serious consequences. They wrestle with issues of authority, independence, changing family relationships, and increased visibility in the community, all of which require that students practice social skills for community participation. These challenges, coupled with the perception that the middle-grade years are a watershed time for young adolescents, create a compelling case for the critical importance of the middle grades.
