Parental involvement has been demonstrated to be a predictor of in-school and post-school success for all students. According to Mapp (2002), parent involvement in schools helps students earn higher grades, boost test scores, improve social skills, and graduate. Culturally Responsive parental involvement can be initiated by inventorying parents' concerns, perspectives, and ideas. According to King (2002), the inventory of parents’ concerns, perspectives, and ideas is culturally responsive because it acknowledges that families have varied backgrounds, beliefs, and values. It recognizes that definitions of family are evolving and complex and that parents want and need to be involved in their children’s

    Summary Of Inequality In The Promised Land

    Parental engagement is often viewed as desirable and is associated with positive school experiences and schooling outcomes. However, according to Lewis-McCoy, parental engagement is multidimensional, and beyond the positive image that is promoted there are negative dimensions as well, which affect the access if all families to a high-quality education. Some types of parental engagement made the educational terrain between white and black and between rich and poor even more uneven (66). Many parents learned about a school’s practices and opportunities via networks of parents. Lewis-McCoy observed three types of networks: formal, semi-formal and informal.…

    Being Culturally Responsive In The Classroom

    Mr. Stone can start by becoming more culturally competent and more culturally aware. Being culturally responsive in the classroom and recognizing cultural differences is about grasping and embracing the fact that student may come from different backgrounds, values, and beliefs. Learning about one’s own culture, beliefs, and values is an important stride in truly understanding, recognizing, and appreciating other cultures. When using this self-reflection, teachers are able to acknowledge how their own views influence their teaching and how it may have lead to expectations that were not appropriate for their students. It is important to make connections between learning and culture to be able to change how one’s instruction occurs.…

    Cultural Capital Theory

    According to Bourdieu (1983) Cultural Capital Theory (CCT) exhibits a greater urgency with parents that have cultural capital resources. The expectations is not as obvious as parents who are not as fortunate as them. Even though, economic background is not the primary outcomes of parental involvement, however, it does contribute to the increasing aspect of parental involvement. Children who are transitioning to middle school has less chance for parents to feel disconnected in participating in their children education. However the differences between high and low CC parents were neither universal nor consistent across parental involvement constructs (Ringenberg, McElwee, and Isreal, 2009).…

This may be for a multitude of different reasons such as learning styles of students, language barriers, students with disabilities and cultural…

    Parental Involvement In Middle School Special Education

Epstein’s also identifies six types of educational involvement that can provide support and positive partnership among families, schools, and communities.

    Parental Involvement

    Informal parent involvement includes parents advising their children, cheering their children on at sporting events, helping students prepare for school dances, encouraging students to further their education and helping students when they struggle with the homework that is sent home from school. Although informal involvement can be beneficial, formal involvement tends to contribute to graduation more than informal (LeFevre & Shaw, 2012). Both types of involvement are very important to a child’s education and both can fluctuate based on families and a family’s…

    Parental Engagement Issues

    In the last few years, the issue of parental engagement is something educators and administrators are supporting. This is because what they learn in the home and from watching them will have an impact on the person's attitudes, beliefs and behaviors when they become older. In the case of 3rd and 4th graders, the parents will shape these views. This is because the child is learning from them the importance of education, effective social relations and how to interact with the world around them. The result is that the amounts of parental engagement will have a direct impact on the child's underlying levels of academic achievement and the attitudes they embrace.…

    Epstein's Conceptual Model

    Schools are demanded to create programs or activities to encourage parents to get involved. Conant (2013) implies the minimum time that parents take to complete homework or attend a parent meeting contribute to students’ academic achievements. Teachers’ priorities are to improve the learning environment and the learning instructions, in order for every child to improve their academic performance. When schools and educators create an atmosphere of safe, inviting, and acceptance, then the process of engaging increased which leads to students’ achievement. Jason (2012) notes, when parents are involved in their child’s education, the following results happen: improved test scores and grades, increased attendance and homework completion, decrease in special education placements, more positive attitudes and behaviors, increased graduation rates, and increased enrollment in postsecondary institutions cited from (Henderson & Berla, 1994).…

    One Dream, Two Realities: The Role Of Parents In Student Education

    The report by Civic Enterprises (2008), One Dream, Two Realities: Perspective of Parents on America’s High Schools, informs us that regardless of income, race, ethnicity, or school their children attend, parents have the same opinion about the education today: education is important in the new, demanding world, and parent involvement is crucial to the children’s academic success. However, some parents often cannot find that point of access into their child’s school due to the two different school systems in America: one that is largely promoting academic achievement in their students, thus involving the parents in the educational process, and another that does not do either. The report presents the fact that in low achieving schools, the parent involvement is low not only because of parent’s lack of time to be engaged, but also because of no opportunity provided by the school, poor communication about what is being taught in classes and about the child’s poor performance in school. The recommendations made include parental engagement through the partnership with community organizations that will provide resources parents need to be effectively involved in their children’s education. Classes should be offered to parents at times most convenient to them and child care should be provided for the single parents to be able to attend.…

    Communication With Parents

    Throughout my teaching career, I have always been told that involved parents or families make successful students. I have come to find this statement to be somewhat true as I have years of experience working with students and families. As every educator should know, parent-teacher collaboration is top priority and is the driving force for every child’s academic success. Under no circumstance should there be a gap or a vast divide between the two. Due to the changes in in today’s society, it is safe to say that teachers will encounter different types of families each school term, and as a result, when communicating with the different families, it is crucial for educators to be mindful of the stigma that might accompany some of these diverse…
