Due to the formal nature of the commitment by educators and teachers, fewer persons are involved. However, they are acting as representatives for all the community, school, parents and staff. They become a working member of this team instead of a passive observer. They help plan their child's goals and take and active part in their child being able to achieve the goals.
Schools usually have a number of committees which have an objective to achieve.
Committees will vary in size and in composition in terms of the number and contributions of parents, students, community members, and educators. The actual representation and size will probably depend on the objectives to be achieved. One of the quickest ways is to plan and initiate a partnership program, one that has parents and school staff committed to promoting student learning at school and at home.
