This fact sheet presents lessons learned from 67 parent involvement programs that work, don't work, or have mixed results for children aged 6-11. Overall, programs that actively engage parents generally have positive impacts on at least one child outcome. These include parenting skills training programs, parent-child involvement programs, and programs that actively involved both parents and children. Also, most programs that integrated technology into their interventions had positive impacts. However, parent education-only programs did not generally have impacts. The fact sheet includes a chart of the programs that worked or didn't work for different outcomes, and a glossary summarizing the programs.
