Billig EDO-PS-95-11 October 1995 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.

Schools, Parents and Communities Working Together These middle grades resources can help parents and communities work more effectively with schools that serve young adolescents. Principals, teachers and other school leaders will find resources that can help forge stronger community partnerships. A CONVERSATION WITH A SCHOOL-FAMILIES RESEARCHER In the late summer of 2003, about 50 members of the MiddleWeb Listserv joined school/family expert Anne Henderson for an important conversation about strengthening the linkages between middle schools and the families of the students they serve. TWELVE THINGS PARENTS SHOULD KNOW 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."
