Parent and Community Involvement Internet Resouces National Education goals for the year 2000 state that "every school will promote partnerships that will increase parental involvement and participation in promoting the social, emotional, and academic growth of children." These goals can be met through involvement on multiple levels and by multiple participants: Schools can involve parents in the decision-making process educating and training them in curriculum, budget, reform and other issues; facilitating their participation in course selection and student placement; and providing parents with current information on school policies and student performance. Teachers can help parents become more involved in the education of their children by integrating parent involvement activities into the curriculum and being sensitive to difficulties that may hinder their involvement. Parents can construct a relationship with schools and teachers through a variety of strategies , such as personal communication with teachers (notes, phone calls, meetings), asking the teachers for regular feedback (positive as well as negative), volunteering to assist with school activities, and monitoring their child's homework.

Head Start Funding Resources Head Start programs continue to face the challenge of expanding services to offer additional hours and work with more families. Whether a program needs to acquire new facilities, renovate existing centers, hire additional staff, or pursue Early Childhood Education degrees for staff, the funds needed to meet these various needs can come from multiple sources. Utilize State Funds (See Below) Head Start Funding Announcements Non-Federal Share Head Start legislation mandates that programs match federal funding with a 20% non-federal share. Often finding funding sources that qualify as a non-federal match is difficult. PHSA has listed thirty-five ideas for building non-federal share.

How to Order No Child Left Behind Act and Title I - Parent Involvement Policies and the Law What is a Title I school? Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) targets federal funds to high-poverty communities to provide compensatory educational services to low-achieving students. These funds are distributed by a poverty-based formula to approximately 90 percent of school districts in the nation. Title I schools can use federal funds in a number of ways - developing assessments, providing professional development opportunities, offering support services, improving curriculum, and so forth - to ensure that low-achieving children are able to meet the same high academic standards all children are expected to meet. Unfortunately, however, funding for Title I is only sufficient to fully serve about one-third of all eligible children. Parent involvement has always been an integral part of Title I. Under the new law, one of the new purposes of Title I is to ensure that funds are used to promote parent involvement. Parents should take full advantage of the opportunities for involvement that the law provides.

The Vaccine Education Center was formed to provide accurate, comprehensive and up-to-date information about childhood vaccines, and the diseases they prevent, to parents and health-care professionals. The Center, through its web site, informational materials, and speakers programs, seeks to dispel some of the common misconceptions and misinformation surrounding childhood vaccines. The goal is to communicate the facts about each vaccine as well as how vaccines are made, how and why vaccines work, who recommends them, whether they are safe, whether they are still necessary, and when they should be given. The Vaccine Education Center is funded by the Henle Chair for Immunologic and Infectious Diseases from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, the Toys R Us Children's Fund and The Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation. The Center does not receive support from pharmaceutical companies. Vaccine development and testing has been an area of particular strength at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Among the vaccines developed or tested here are those currently used for rubella, rabies, mumps, and chickenpox.
