This part of the America Goes Back to School website contains information about areas of education that are particularly important as we prepare our students to get on the right course for the 21^st Century. They come from President Clinton's Call to Action for American Education, issued in his 1997 State of the Union address. You will find suggestions on how to work towards meeting the points in the Call to Action and resources from the U.S. Department of Education and others to help you in your efforts. Communities and schools around the country have begun to sign on to answer the Call to Action and to join the Partnership for Family Involvement in Education--we encourage you to join this grassroots, nationwide effort!
