Parental involvement means much more than just attending parent-teacher interviews. You must set goals to keep the parents abreast of what is going on in the classroom. You can communicate that INFORMATION and ask for volunteers through WEEKLY or bi-weekly NEWSLETTERS. You might inform parents when you are starting a NEW unit or specific projects and make SURE they clearly understand the homework assignments each week. You should contact or speak to parents not just when a child is having difficulty, but also when they are doing well.
