Family-School Partnerships Online Resources

As your PTA wraps up the year and starts planning for the new school year, consider these questions: How well is our school meeting the goals of the PTA National Standards for Family-School Partnerships? What more can we do to connect family engagement to the academic success of our students? A number of tools to help you answer these questions and strengthen your school are available at PTA.org/Partnerships.

The PTA National Standards for Family-School Partnerships Implementation Guide not only discusses each standard, but also includes a family survey to distribute to the community, a family-school partnership action plan template, and an assessment guide with examples of what good practice looks like. Other tools and resources include:

PTA Report to the Community template
PowerPoint presentations on family engagement
Handouts for parents, such as "A Report Card for Parents," "10 Truths About Parent Involvement," and "Supporting Learning At Home"

With programs grounded in the National Standards for Family-School Partnerships, your PTA can better achieve its goals for supporting student success.
