Parent Involvement Matters.Org is sponsored by the National ParentNet Association, a non-profit organization that advocates collaborative parent-school communities that promote networking, communication, and problem-solving. We want to see ParentNet® and other programs used to foster exploration, discovery and understanding of the parenting skills and strategies that lead to the development of healthy, successful children. Through ParentInvolvementMatters.Org, we provide: 1) General education about parental involvement, why it matters, and how to get involved as a parent leader, educator, trainer, or other stakeholder. 2) A complete section of materials to locally implement or adapt ParentNet® -- a proven process that facilitates discussion of everyday parenting topics, encourages parent networking and mutual support, and enhances communication between parents, students and schools. 3) A collaborative collection of resources that includes success stories submitted by parents and schools as well as professional articles, research and book reviews written by advocates for parent involvement in education. 4) A Consultant Directory that provides listings of trainers, consultants, counselors, coaches and others who provide services to schools and/or parents to help develop the type of involvement that translates into student social, emotional, physical and academic success.
