Abstract	A hearing was held to discuss models for successful parent involvement in education and to bring attention to several state and local programs that facilitate home-school partnerships. Two panels of witnesses from several states testified about: (1) teacher's ways of involving parents in the classroom; (2) ways in which parental involvement can help a school system; (3) ways in which the Chicago Public Schools have systematically alienated parents; (4) barriers to active parent involvement and ways of eliminating the barriers; (5) the Parents as Teachers concept, including an executive evaluation summary of Missouri's New Parents as Teachers Project and the text of the Missouri Early Childhood Development Act; (6) parent involvement in schools that aim to accelerate disadvantaged students' learning to grade level; (7) barriers and successes of parent involvement in major reform of middle schools; (8) the Parents in Touch program for increasing parent involvement in parent/teacher conferences; (9) outcomes of the mandating of parent involvement through election to school advisory councils serving South Carolina schools; (10) the Home Instruction Program for Preschool Youngsters (HIPPY); and (11) state department of education parent involvement activities. Included are views of the Indiana Congress of Parents and Teachers and case summaries of problems parents have faced in encounters with school bureaucracies. (RH)
