| Schools with strong parental involvement programs experience profound benefits for students, parents, teachers, and administrators. Research show that when parents are involved in student’s education, those students generally have higher grades and test scores, better attendance, and more consistently completed homework. Building Successful Partnerships is a multifaceted program focused on increasing awareness and implementation of the National Standards for Parent/Family Involvement Programs. National PTA launched a major initiative in August 1999, to train PTA leaders tp present the organization’s new Building Successful Partnerships program. Throughout the country, U.S. Virgin Islands and where Department of Defense schools are located in Europe and the Pacific, nearly 300 PTA leaders are available to give presentations on the benefits of parent involvement, the components of effective parent involvement programs, and how to implement the National Standards for Parent/Family Involvement Programs. Tennessee PTA has trained presenters that can visit your school and present this very informative program. Contact the State Office to request a Building Successful Partnerships parent involvement presentation for your local unit PTA meeting, your local or state business, school board, Chamber of Commerce or other gathering of parents, educators, administrators, community members or legislators. PLEASE CONTACT THE TN PTA ptaoffice@tnpta.org or 1-888-782-5712 to request a presentation in your area. |
