Indiana Center for Family, School & Community PartnershipsPARTNERS IN LEARNINGVol. 2:3 ~ Spring 1999
Schools throughout the country are
designating space in or near their buildings for parents (and
often other community members) to call their own. As knowledge
about the importance of family involvement in children's education
takes hold, greater attention is being focused on the development
of parent or family centers as an effective strategy to support
and strengthen this critical goal. Some centers simply offer
a coffee pot and a comfortable spot for parents to gather; others
provide a full range of services for families. CONTENTS:
