Student-Led Conferences: Tips for Educators How to Run Successful Parent-Team Conferences "Only by forming an alliance can parents and teachers effectively work together to help students negotiate the treacherous path through the middle school years," writes education professor and former middle grades teacher Howard M. Miller. "One potent tool for creating parent-teacher bonds at the middle level is the parent-team conference." ("Middle Matters" magazine, Fall 1998.)

ERIC Digest 114 - Building Support For Multiage Education How Can Parents and the Community Be Involved in Multiage education? From Dilemma to Opportunity A Report on education Reform in kentucky, http://eric.uoregon.edu/publications/digests/digest114.html
Extractions: Clearinghouse on Educational Policy and Management Previous (Digest 113) Next (Digest 115) By Joan Gaustad Multiage education involves placing children of different ages, abilities, and emotional maturity in the same classroom. Students are frequently regrouped for different learning activities rather than being consistently segregated by chronological age, and they often remain with the same teacher or teaching team for more than one year. Many different labels have been applied to such classes, including family grouping, blends, nongraded, and multiage continuous progress. Research indicates that heterogeneous grouping promotes cognitive and social growth, reduces antisocial behavior, and facilitates the use of research-based developmentally appropriate instructional practices such as active learning and integrated curriculum. The wider range of ages and abilities in a multiage classroom discourages misleading age-graded expectations and helps teachers focus on students' individual learning needs. Why Is Parent and Community Support Important?
