The resources on this site are intended to assist parents, schools, and districts in strengthening partnerships between schools, families, and their communities to increase student achievement, and may be copied and distributed freely.

Each module contains:

• A needs assessment to assist schools/districts in identifying strengths and areas needing improvement.
• Research, best practices, and resources related to the topic.
• A toolkit, which includes handouts, presentations, action plans, examples, SMART goal templates, and more to help school teams develop strategies and plans for that topic.
