Goal 3: Student Achievement and Citizenship states in part that "all students will be involved in activities that promote and demonstrate good citizenship, good health, community service, and personal responsibility."

Goal 4: Teacher Education and Professional Development calls for partnerships to be established "among local educational agencies, institutions of higher education, parents, and local labor, business, and professional associations to provide and support programs for the professional development of educators."

Goal 6: Adult Literacy and Lifelong Learning requests that "every major American business will be involved in strengthening the connection between education and work" and that "schools, in implementing comprehensive parent involvement programs, will offer more adult literacy, parent training and lifelong learning opportunities to improve the ties between home and school, and enhance parents' work and home lives."

Goal 8: Parental Participation calls for every school to build partnerships that will "increase parental involvement and participation in promoting the social, emotional, and academic growth of children." One of the specific objectives for this goal is that "every school will actively engage parents and families in a partnership that supports the academic work of children at home and shared educational decision-making at school."
