WHAT IS SOLID FOUNDATION?
Solid Foundation® is a school-based, team process that helps:
|
|
- strengthen family-school connections,
- engage parents in children's learning, and
- improve student academic and social learning.
Working with an External Partner (trained coach from the district, state, PIRC, or community group) the school adopts one of three Solid Foundation® paths described below.
With Solid Foundation, the connection between parents and their children's learning is not left to chance. |

| WHAT IS THE PARENT INVOLVEMENT ANALYSIS? |
The Parent Involvement Analysis online tool guides a school-based team through an inventory and self-assessment of parent involvement policies and practices, resulting in objectives for improvement that can become part of the school improvement plan. The process also provides benchmarks to gauge progress.
The PIA provides: |
|
- a School Team with a structured process to strengthen parent involvement through the school improvement plan;
- purposeful parent engagement that is linked with student learning;
- rubrics for improving district and school parent involvement policies, the home-school compact, and other policies connected to parent engagement.
