Host a Family Resource Guide
Introduction
For more than 100 years, PTA has promoted a fundamental value that continues to be the foundation for all that we do. That value is parent involvement. The evidence is consistent, positive, and convincing. Families have a major influence on their children’s achievement in school and in life. Research also shows that school quality often improves when teachers and administrators have positive attitudes towards parents, actively encourage parent involvement, and design effective parent involvement programs.
Families want to know how to help their children and how to
communicate with teachers. Teachers and principals want to
know how to build trust and work effectively with families and
the community. Students want to succeed in school, and need
the support of their families, teachers, and communities.
NCPTA is proud to bring you this Parent Resource Handbook. This handbook is a collaborative effort of many of our partnering organizations and agencies along with resources from National PTA. We hope this handbook will be helpful to the families and caregivers of all our children and youth of North Carolina.
