Indiana Center for Family, School & Community Partnerships
PARTNERS IN LEARNING
Vol. 1:1 ~ Winter 1998
Never has the time been more urgent for Hoosier
families to become more active in their children's education.
"Partners in Learning" is a publication about families, schools
and communities working together for kids. In each issue, you'll learn
about approaches and programs that are working well, how to build and strengthen
local partnerships, why community and family involvement is so important
to schools, and where to go for more information.
Our audience is broad-based--parents and parent educators, teachers
and administrators, policy-makers and community leaders--because all play
a vital role in ensuring children's success.
We invite you to copy and share any or all of this publication with
your school community.
Watch for the next issue--with a focus on involving fathers in their
children's education--coming this spring.
