Family Involvement: A Key Component of Student Success The term “parent involvement” is used to describe participation by a child’s primary caretaker(s) – whether that is a single mom, two parents, grandparents, foster parents, or an older sibling. More broadly, many parent involvement programs also address the needs of the entire family and include younger siblings and others’ roles in creating school success

•The National Institute for Literacy stated that parents who had a high school diploma volunteered in school only 26.7% of the time and only 54% of parents how had a professional degree volunteered in school.

•What is this telling us?

•No matter the level of education of parents they are not getting involved in school enough.

Where The Problem Begins

Page 4: parent involvement

Joyce Epstein developed a frame work for defining six different types of parent’s involvement.

First parenting: •Help all families establish home environments to support children as students. •Parent education and other courses or training for parents (e.g., GED, college credit, family literacy). •Family support programs to assist families with health, nutrition, and other services. •Home visits at transition points to pre-school, elementary, middle, and high school. (Epstein 1997-2000)

. “Your children will become what you are; so be what you want them to be.” David Bly

Parenting is the process of promoting and supporting the physical, emotional, social, and intellectual development of a child from infancy to adulthood. Parenting refers to the activity of raising a child rather than the biological relationship.

•Design effective forms of school-to-home and home-to-school communications about school programs and children's progress. •Conferences with every parent at least once a year. •Language translators to assist families as needed. •Regular schedule of useful notices, memos, phone calls, newsletters, and other•communications. . (Epstein 1997-2000)

Communication is the largest opportunity between parents and teachers. The 1999 when the census was conducted only 39.8% of both mothers and father attended a meeting, 29.4% attended a conference .

Teachers! Communication is needed daily not just when the student is in truble or when something is needed. Let stop talking to co-workers and start taking to parents.

•Gather and organize a group of parents help and support. •Introduce parents to volunteer program to help teachers, administrators, students, and other parents. •Parent room or family center for volunteer work, meetings, and resources for families. •Annual postcard survey to identify all available talents, times, and locations of volunteers. . (Epstein 1997-2000)

According to the National Center for Educational statics, School-aged children are more likely to get mostly A’s, to enjoy school, and to participate in extracurricular activity, and are less likely to have ever repeat a grade and to have ever been suspended or mothers have high levels of involvement in their school.
