January FINE Newletter: Home–School Communication
January 26, 2009
In this month's newly redesigned and expanded FINE Newsletter, three field leaders bring their unique insights and perspectives to this issue's theme: home–school communication.
JoBeth Allen shares her thoughts about communication among diverse schools and families in a Guest Commentary, while Amy Schulting describes the effects of a home visiting program on the transition to kindergarten. Carrie Rose reflects on how another home visit project increases parent–teacher interaction to support the learning of children across grade levels.
We also offer you a set of tip sheets for parent–teacher conferences, produced by Harvard Family Research Project, for use by principals, teachers, and parents, and a list of links to current research, resources, and news in the family involvement field.
