Because family participation in children's learning is often influenced by work schedules and time constraints, it is crucial that businesses, community and religious organizations, and especially families and schools support parent and employee involvement in education. To encourage such support, the U.S. Department of Education administers the Partnership and offers resources, ideas, funding, and conferences relevant to family involvement in education.
