Take-Home Resource Materials

Take-Home Resource Materials. Make supplementary study materials and videotapes available

for parents to check out and use with their children at home. Include study guides to assist

parents. Some districts now have programs that allow parents to check out computers.

Parent Room on Campus. If there is an extra room in your building, create a place where

parents can review resource materials, watch educational videos, and network with each other.

Meetings in Parents’ Homes. Don’t always ask parents to come to the school to meet with you.

Invite parents to host small-group meetings on single topics in their homes. Changing the

territory can often facilitate more open communication.
