Download or read book New Ways to Engage Parents written by Patricia Edwards and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2016-05-06 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just as populations change, ideas about how to encourage and work with parents also need to evovle. This practical resource by bestselling author Patricia Edwards provides school leaders and classroom teachers with new and creative ways in which to welcome, encourage and involve parents. Enacting these types of practices requires a special kind of commitment from teachers and school leaders, which often coincides with a particular kind of mindset about families and one's responsibility to engage them. Educators often develop this mindset as they depend their understanding of families, literacy/language, culture/race/class, and themselves. Edwards pulls these understandings together and presents them in a straightforward, concise, and easy-to-use guide that is perfect for professional learning communities and teacher preparation courses. New Ways to Engage Parents is essential reading for all educators who care deeply about engaging a wide range of parents in today's schools. The book features: a stark look at the changing community demographics and what that means for teachers and adminsitrators; strategies for communicating with parents; examples of how to bring parents together for meaningful activities; the importance of understanding parental constraints and the need to meet them halfway; and approaches for overcoming "school ghosts" as well as negative histories and perceptions in the community.
Book Synopsis Family Involvement in Children's Education by : Janie E. Funkhouser
Download or read book Family Involvement in Children's Education written by Janie E. Funkhouser and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Schools that are most successful in engaging parents and other family members in support of their children's learning look beyond traditional definitions of parent involvement--parent teacher organizations or signing report cards--to a broader conception of supporting families in activities outside of school that can encourage their children's' learning. This idea book is intended to assist educators, parents, and policy makers as they develop school-family partnerships, identifying and describing successful strategies used by 20 local Title I programs. Following an executive summary, the book notes resources for involving families in education, includes research supporting such partnerships, and describes how Title I encourages partnerships. Next, the book describes successful local approaches to family involvement in education, organized around strategies for overcoming common barriers to family involvement, including: (1) overcoming time and resource constraints; (2) providing information and training to parents and school staff; (3) restructuring schools to support family involvement; (4) bridging school-family differences; and (5) tapping external supports for partnerships. Finally, the book presents conclusions about establishing and sustaining partnerships, noting that at the same time that successful partnerships share accountability, specific stakeholders must assume individual responsibility, and that those schools that succeed in involving large numbers of parents invest energy in finding solutions for problems, not excuses. Four appendices present profiles of 10 successful partnerships, descriptions in table format of 20 successful local approaches, contact information for profiled partnership programs, and resources for building successful partnerships. Contains 13 references. (HTH)

Download or read book Building Parent Engagement in Schools written by Larry Ferlazzo and published by Linworth. This book was released on 2009-09-23 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a report on the positive impact of parental involvement on their child's academics and on the school at large. Building Parent Engagement in Schools is an introduction to educators, particularly in lower-income and urban schools, who want to promote increased parental engagement in both the classroom and at home—an effort required by provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. It is both an authoritative review of research that confirms the positive impact of parental involvement on student achievement and a guide for implementing proven strategies for increasing that involvement. With Building Parent Engagement in Schools, educators can start to develop a hybrid culture between home and school, so that school can serve as a cultural bridge for the students. Filled with the voices of real educators, students, and parents, the book documents a number of parent-involved efforts to improve low-income communities, gain greater resources for schools, and improve academic achievement. Coverage includes details of real initiatives in action, including programs for home visits, innovative uses of technology, joint enterprises like school/community gardens, and community organization efforts.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Limited parental involvement plagues many school districts around the nation and world, and depending on their role, administrators, teachers, and parents have varying perceptions of what parental involvement should look like. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to analyze of elementary, middle, an high school parents by exploring the perceptions of their own involvement with regard to their (a) race, (b) education level, (c) socio-economic status, and (d) number of children in the household under age 18. Joyce Epstein's six types of parental involvement supported by Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler's five levels of parental involvement provided the framework of this study. Findings indicated that while obstacles varied with respect to various parent demographic, the desire for parents to involved still existed. Results from this study not only contribute to current literature connected to parental involvement but also provide urban district stakeholders with further knowledge that might help increase, support, and encourage parental involvement, which has been shown to positively impact student achievement.
Book Synopsis The Ideologies of Teachers and Parents Regarding Family-school Relationships in Urban Elementary Schools by : Arij Rached
Download or read book The Ideologies of Teachers and Parents Regarding Family-school Relationships in Urban Elementary Schools written by Arij Rached and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parental involvement is associated with students' educational achievement (Ahmad, 2010; Theodorou, 2008; Yanghee, 2009). Although parent involvement is linked to student success, schools frequently fail to establish a strong connection between home and school (Ahmad, 2010; Bourdieu, 1973; Brint, 2011), particularly in urban areas (Epstein & Sanders, 2006). Thus, a descriptive case study was used to examine the ideologies of both teachers and parents regarding the quality of their interrelationships with respect to how they both care for their children. Three varied data sets were used: (a) open-ended interviews, (b) field notes, and (c) a focus group. The data from the three sources were analyzed and coded using MAXQDA data analysis software. Results indicated that both teachers and parents prioritize communication and sharing information as two main strategies to improve engagement and optimize children's academic results. Additionally, results indicated that both groups expressed the hope that parental involvement in their children's educations would lead to better parent-teacher relationships and the children's continued motivation for learning. Further, results indicated four major social and cultural factors that influence the relationships between families and schools: attitudes and beliefs, unwelcome feelings due to a new school policy, gaps in home-school communication, and a lack of trust in special services. Moreover, creating a welcoming environment, improving home-school communication, and establishing early collaboration emerged as significant requirements for healthy parent-teacher relationships.
Book Synopsis Parent Involvement: Perceptions of Parents and Teachers by : Gloria M. Hernandez
Download or read book Parent Involvement: Perceptions of Parents and Teachers written by Gloria M. Hernandez and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parent involvement in the public schools is recognized by researchers and by the great majority of public school educators as being essential to the success of students, academically and socially. It is also a legal requirement for Title 1 schools. Numerous studies have examined the effects of parent involvement with various ethnic groups, especially with African American and Hispanic groups. This study looks at the effects of a series of twelve parental involvement workshops of three hours each, presented in English, Hmong, Spanish, and Russian languages on the perceptions of parents. These parents were from four ethnic groups: African American, Hispanic, Hmong and Russian-Ukrainian. Through a pre-post survey design, this study examines the perceptions of parents on school to home communication, parental involvement in their children's academic work, and the parents' ability to help their children academically. Also examined are teachers' perceptions of various dimensions of parental involvement using a survey with dimensions which are complementary to those on the parent survey.

This book was released on 1993-02-02 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research identifies increased parent involvement in education as a promising method to bolster student achievement. Statistics show that while many traditional white, middle class families have found ways to be involved with their children's schooling, our nation now needs to find ways to include more minority parents in their children's education. Most educators and parents would agree that minority parent involvement in education is essential; the mechanics of developing sensitive, realistic, and workable home-school relationships are more elusive. It requires a concerted effort by all involved to understand more about the complex parent-school relationship and to develop specific plans to help families. This comprehensive volume features substantial material from the nation's most renowned research projects on parent involvement—Stanford University's Center for the Study of Families, Children and Youth, the Johns Hopkins University's Center for Research on Elementary and Middle Schools, the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory, and the National Catholic Education Association. In addition to a section on research, the book includes a section on practice that presents research-tested strategies on working with minority parents (Asian, American Indian, Hispanic, African American, and other minority groups). The book concludes with a section on future challenges that educators must confront and appendices on promising national programs and helpful resource materials.
