Educators can use the phone, newsletters, home visits, and E-mail to keep parents informed and part of the education team. They can take advantage of community learning resources. They can meet with parents at the beginning of the school year to agree on goals and responsibilities. Most important, they can make parents feel welcome in the school and include them in decision-making.
