Task 2: Communicate With and Involve Parents

Guideline:  Parental involvement is at the core of building effective, quality school climate in support of improved academic performance for American Indian children. The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) requires tribal consultation; parent-family engagement, community involvement and school collaboration in the education of American Indian children, as well as mandating specific communications from schools to parents and tribes. Educators need to be aware of how they communicate and collaborate with parents of Native children in order to more effectively engage parents in the process of education for their children.
