Fathers' Involvement in Children's Learning Tool Kit

By Partnership for Family Involvement in Education

Format: CD-ROM

Target Audience: Professionals

Description: This CD-ROM from the U.S. Department of Education and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services contains materials and resources on fathers' involvement in children's learning. These materials have been developed by the Department of Education's Partnership for Family Involvement in Education and the Department of Health and Human Services' Fatherhood Initiative.

• The tool kit is for educators and family service providers.  Definitely not recommended for parents, but possibly will be helpful for professionals.
• Would not recommend for never-married fathers.  Could be useful for professionals who work with fathers - not necessarily just never-married fathers.
• It seemed to have a lot of good suggestions for getting fathers involved in education.
• Current theory, practice, and research reflected.
• Did see "people of color" in the video clip.
• Encourages fathers' involvement in their children's education and in their lives in general.
• CD-ROM format is easily navigable.  Video clip worked well on my computer.
• pdf files are a nice addition since they print out so nicely.
