The National Standards for Parent/Family Involvement Programs

National PTA, building on the work of Dr. Joyce Epstein of Johns Hopkins University,
has developed six standards for effective parent involvement programs. The standards
are guidelines for use in developing programs to involve parents and families.

Comprehensive local parent/family involvement programs will be most effective if the include all the standards. Keep these standards in mind when planning parent involvement programs and activities.

Standard 1:
Communicating: Communication between home and school is regular, two-way, and meaningful.

Standard II:
Parenting: Parenting skills are promoted and supportinfo.

Standard III:
Student Learning: Parents play an integral role in assisting student learning.

Standard IV:
Volunteering: Parents are welcome in the school, and their support and assistance are sought.

Standard V:
School Decision Making and Advocacy: Parents are full partners in the decisions that affect children and families.

Standard VI:
Collaborating with Community: Community resources are used to strengthen schools, families, and student learning.
