Additional Resources


This section offers an additional set of selected resources on parent engagement in dropout prevention. We encourage individuals or groups seeking to address the needs of a particular target population (whether it is defined by ethnicity, home language or the particular nature of their educational needs) to seek out additional information about how to tailor strategies to that group’s particular strengths, challenges and realities.

These resources are divided into three main sections:

  1. Literature Relevant to 3A Framework  (Attendance Every Day, Achievement Every Day and Attainment Over Time) for Parent Engagement In Dropout Prevention: The literature below refers to selected articles or books that provide additional information about the importance, impact and factors contributing to attendance every day, achievement every year and attainment over time and why these issues matter for parent involvement.
  2. Parent Engagement Literature : This is a selected list of resources we found to be especially helpful for providing an overview of parent engagement strategies and resources.
  3. Organizations with Expertise in Parent Engagement : This is a selection of national organizations with resources and programs designed to engage and support parents and caregivers around their children’s education.
