Parents and others
No matter how intensive and well-conceived school-based
interventions are, they will probably not be successful without
the approval, cooperation, and support of parents and the
community (Powell, Muir-McClain, and Halasyamani 1995).
Practitioners planning a social-cognitive intervention should
recruit one or more credible, respected individuals in the school
to promote the intervention and find ways for parents,
community leaders, and others to participate in developing the
intervention’s activities and curriculum.
