Successful programs require ongoing communication between parents and teachers. Parents seek out educators that want family involvement and are willing to communicate with them on a regular basis. When teachers see parents from an asset perspective (Abel, 2012), they are more open to working on two-way communication and doing background work to supply parents with the resources required to teach skills at home. Accordingly, teachers with positive attitudes regarding parental involvement may have more success engaging “hard-to-reach” parents (Abel, 2012).
