At President Barack Obama's urging, and in response to research showing a connection between parental involvement and student achievement, districts nationwide have launched initiatives to increase community engagement with schools. Yet many schools find it difficult to sustain parent involvement beyond the parent-teacher conference. Join two experts, Joyce L. Epstein and Larry Ferlazzo, for an in-depth discussion on the subject. Ms. Epstein is the main author of 'School, Family, and Community Partnerships.' Mr. Ferlazzo co-authored the forthcoming book 'Building Parent Engagement In Schools.'"
