Hands-On Resources for Parental and Family Involvement
Accelerate Student Progress and Promote Achievement
Your school district is committed to closing the achievement and opportunity gap for all children. To accomplish this, you need the full support and involvement of students' families. ETA/Cuisenaire will help you keep this commitment and meet the goal of engaging students’ families in the process. Our take-home, hands-on resources are academically-focused and aligned to standards. Specially designed to increase student achievement and accelerate progress, these resources simply, yet effectively, engage families in their children's learning and academic development.
Build a culture of achievement that stretches from school to home.
Promote shared accountability by parents and families for student learning outcomes.
"The evidence is consistent and convincing: families have a major influence on their children's achievement. When schools, families, and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better, stay in school longer, and like school more.”
— Henderson, Anne T. and Karen L. Mapp, A New Wave of Evidence: The Impact of School, Family, and Community Connections on Student Achievement, 2002, p. 7
