Reflecting decades of research documenting the essential role families play in the education of children, the standards published both by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and Division for Early Childhood of the Council for Exceptional Children (DEC) include a focus on the importance of the relationship with the family. Teacher preparation programs that integrate specific course instruction alongside field experiences requiring interaction with families are fairly limited, and as a result, new teachers may feel unprepared and unsure of their ability to foster relationships with parents. This report from the field outlines a college--family partnership (CFP) included as required content in a teacher certification program and intended to assist preservice teachers in the development of those skills necessary to build and sustain beneficial family relationships.
