This document discusses strategies for getting families engaged in early childhood classrooms. It outlines that strong school-family connections can help students achieve higher academic performance regardless of their background. Partnerships encourage positive classroom experiences by allowing children to observe positive teacher-parent interactions. Partnerships also help parents and teachers. When parents feel supported by teachers, they are able to provide more home learning experiences for their children. The document then presents Dr. Joyce Epstein's six types of parental involvement, which include practices like parenting workshops, effective communication, volunteering opportunities, and learning at home resources. Overall, the key is to foster an open and welcoming classroom that keeps parents informed and values their perspectives.
