It is the goal of the Title I schools in Fayette County to develop strong partnerships with the home. Parents and schools working as partners increase student achievement and develop positive attitudes about self and school. The key factor in the home-school partnerships is the relationship between the teacher and the parents.
Teachers are professionals who manage a variety of instructional resources.
Parents are an essential resource in the learning process of their children. Organizational support from the school board, district administrators, coordinators of Family Resource and Youth Service Center, Title I social worker and building principals enables teachers to effectively develop the partnership. Developing a process that continuously assesses, plans and implements strategies that build the partnership. A district-wide committee of parents, teachers and administrators will conduct an annual evaluation of the content and effectiveness of parent involvement activities in increasing participation of parents and whether there are barriers to greater participation. The evaluation may be conducted through a written survey, a telephone survey or in person.
