Family Involvement and Beyond:

School-Based Child and Family Support Programs

In today's classrooms, teachers often face challenges that extend beyond their students' academic progress. A growing number of schools are creating support programs to address the social and emotional needs of children and to build strong linkages between the home, school, and community. These programs and the school communities that developed them are the focus of a new book from the Northwest Regional Educational Laboratory's Child and Family Program.

Family Involvement and Beyond: School-Based Child and Family Support Programs explores how schools and families can move beyond the "finger-pointing stage" and forge partnerships to promote the optimal development of all children. Extensive site profiles of four Northwest schools provide real-life examples and ideas from successful school-based programs.
