This document was prepared by the National Center for Fathering under contract ED-99-PO-3558 to the U.S. Department of Education. This report does not necessarily reflect the position of the Department of Education, and no official endorsement by the Department should be inferred.There is overwhelming evidence that a parent’s involvement in a child’s education makes a very positive difference. In the past, often an unstated assumption was made that “parent involvement” meant “mothers’ involvement.” New research shows that the involvement of both mother and father is important. Given this finding, together with the lack of previous work on expanding fathers’ involvement, this report describes new opportunities in this area.
