THE NATIONAL STANDARDS FOR PARENT/FAMILY INVOLVEMENT PROGRAMS

National PTA, building on the work of Dr. Joyce Epstein of Johns Hopkins University, has developed six standards for effective parent involvement programs. The standards are guidelines for use in developing programs to involve parents and families. Comprehensive local parent/family involvement programs will be most effective if they include all of the standards. Keep these standards in mind when planning parent involvement programs and activities.

STANDARD 1: COMMUNICATION
Communication between home and school is regular, two-way and meaningful.

STANDARD 2: PARENTING
Parenting skills are promoted and supported.

STANDARD 3: STUDENT LEARNING
Parents play an integral role in assisting student learning.

STANDARD 4: VOLUNTEERING
Parents are welcome in the school, and their support and assistance are sought.

STANDARD 5: SCHOOL DECISION MAKING AND ADVOCACY
Parents are full partners in the decisions that affect children and families.

STANDARD 6: COLLABORATING WITH COMMUNITY
Community resources are used to strengthen schools, families, and student learning.
