ABSTRACT
Families play a pivotal role in their children’s education, but school interventions often do not include a role for families. Families can be integrated in school-based interventions through a three-tier prevention framework that enhances parenting support and strengthens the home–school connection. By integrating families in school-based interventions children experience protective factors during key developmental transitions that can promote long term positive outcomes. Several evidence-based interventions that include active roles for families and educators are available and are embedded in a scope and sequence that promotes engagement, motivation to change, and immediate and sustained benefits for children.
