Book Synopsis Unique Challenges in Urban Schools by : Eric R. Jackson
Download or read book Unique Challenges in Urban Schools written by Eric R. Jackson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2015-04-03 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study explores the various ways in which parental involvement can help to increase student academic success. More specifically, this analysis is based on the notions that: 1) parent involvement in inner city schools present unique challenges that are different from the traditional middle class perspective; 2) there is value in a cooperative approach between parents, teachers, and administrators that places the student at the center of each major discussion and decision; and 3) illustrates that parental involvement is a real perspective and not just rhetorical jargon. Although the focus of this book is in increasing parent involvement in inner city schools, readers must be mindful that the ultimate objective for this work and others like it is the successful educating of all children, so that they graduate from high school, and move into higher education, or into the workforce. Parent involvement by itself will not ensure academic success of children, but, combined with many strategies, including a clear understanding of the differences between an inner city school environment and a middle class school setting, effective teaching, sound and relevant curricula, safe and secure learning environment, and visionary leadership, children attending inner city schools can be just as effective as those in middle class school settings.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study advances the premise that African-American parents are deliberately involved in their children's education; however, many educators may not recognize their involvement because it may not always align with dominant cultural expectations. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore beneficial social capital and cultural capital that low-income African-American parents use to involve themselves in their children's suburban school education. Data was collected for this study, in a suburb outside of a large metropolitan city, through the use of a World Cafe (a type of community discussion group) and semi-structured interviews. Using portraiture research design, the findings of the study are highlighted through six participant portraits, which narrate their involvement in their children's education. In summary, all of the participants utilized both social and cultural capital to become involved in their children's education. Generally, each interview participant's family cultural capital motivated her to participate in her child's education, in a manner unique to her own educational experiences. In addition to understanding and utilizing valuable dominant forms of cultural capital (attending parent-teacher conferences, volunteering, and communicating with the teachers, working with children at home, and having educational expectations), participants in this study also referenced the use of culture-specific forms of capital, such as: family cultural capital, family networks and church, teaching cultural knowledge, community collective beliefs, and African-American networks. Additionally, participants used the following forms of social capital to benefit their children's education: relocating, hiding poverty, utilizing community service resources, and using intergenerational closure. Suggestions are made for educators to recognize and honor these non-dominant social and cultural forms of parental involvement, so that low-income African-American parental involvement can benefit their children's education. Participants called for more supportive social and cultural African-American parent networks to be created within schools, to help parents feel more welcome and supported in the schools, and become more knowledgeable about the schooling process.

This book was released on 2012-02-23 with total page 839 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two decades, the concept of student engagement has grown from simple attention in class to a construct comprised of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral components that embody and further develop motivation for learning. Similarly, the goals of student engagement have evolved from dropout prevention to improved outcomes for lifelong learning. This robust expansion has led to numerous lines of research across disciplines and are brought together clearly and comprehensively in the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement. The Handbook guides readers through the field’s rich history, sorts out its component constructs, and identifies knowledge gaps to be filled by future research. Grounding data in real-world learning situations, contributors analyze indicators and facilitators of student engagement, link engagement to motivation, and gauge the impact of family, peers, and teachers on engagement in elementary and secondary grades. Findings on the effectiveness of classroom interventions are discussed in detail. And because assessing engagement is still a relatively new endeavor, chapters on measurement methods and issues round out this important resource. Topical areas addressed in the Handbook include: Engagement across developmental stages. Self-efficacy in the engaged learner. Parental and social influences on engagement and achievement motivation. The engaging nature of teaching for competency development. The relationship between engagement and high-risk behavior in adolescents. Comparing methods for measuring student engagement. An essential guide to the expanding knowledge base, the Handbook of Research on Student Engagement serves as a valuable resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in such varied fields as clinical child and school psychology, educational psychology, public health, teaching and teacher education, social work, and educational policy.
Book Synopsis African American Parents' Involvement in Their Adolescent Children's Urban High School Experiences by : Kim V. Rhone
Download or read book African American Parents' Involvement in Their Adolescent Children's Urban High School Experiences written by Kim V. Rhone and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The myth of low to no African American parent involvement can be attributed, in part, to a perception of their limited presence in schools, especially at the high school level (Barton, Drake, Gustavo-Perez, St. Louis & George, 2004). Often, teachers declare that African American parents' do not care about their children's education (Archer-Banks & Behar-Horenstein, 2008). African American parents counter this stereotype by arguing that schools are unwelcoming spaces (Henderson, Mapp, Johnson, & Davies, 2007). Moreover, scholars suggest that the ways African American families support the academic achievement of their teenage children often go unnoticed by teachers who are more accustomed to middle class approaches to parent involvement (Kim, 2009; Hornby & Lafaele, 2011). Scholarship reveals that both individual and institutional barriers contribute to the perceived lack or low involvement of African American parents in their teenage children's urban high schools. The purpose of this dissertation research is to explore how the parents of African American high school students identify and negotiate the individual and institutional barriers to their active involvement in their teenage children's schools. The guiding research questions reads: How do African American parents identify and negotiate the individual and institutional barriers to their active participation in their adolescent children's urban high schools? This narrative inquiry consists of interviews with twelve African American parents and grandparents across different urban high schools, including public and charter schools, in Philadelphia, PA. Analysis of the interview data reveals three findings: 1) Contrary to common misperceptions, African American parents are involved in their children's education in ways that are consistent with traditional forms of parent involvement; 2) African American parents identify and negotiate barriers to their children's education by way of their culture; and 3) African American parents identify and negotiate barriers to their children's education by choosing to enroll their adolescents in charter schools. These findings are largely consistent with previous studies, and serve to further advance research on African American family involvement with adolescent children in urban high schools. Recommendations for future research and practices offer direction on how to recognize and support African American family involvement.
Book Synopsis Parent Involvement in Education and College Planning for African American High School Students by : Jennifer Threlfall
Download or read book Parent Involvement in Education and College Planning for African American High School Students written by Jennifer Threlfall and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parent involvement is critical for students' success in high school and in accessing college, especially in low-income and minority families. However, many schools have failed to engage low-income African American parents, thereby contributing to a popular narrative of uninvolved and uninterested parents. Traditional models of parent involvement have favored a narrow range of activities undertaken by white and middle class families and do not account for the wider social and cultural context in which parenting occurs. The purpose of this qualitative study was therefore to investigate (1) caregiver and adolescent perceptions of parent involvement in education and college planning for African American high school students, (2) barriers to involvement and resources that are drawn on, and (3) how perceptions of involvement might differ according to gender and family composition. The ultimate goal was to form a culturally and developmentally appropriate conceptualization of parent involvement in education and college planning for low-income African American high school students living in urban communities. In depth interviews were conducted with 24 caregivers and 23 students recruited through a community based college access program. Data was analyzed using a grounded theory approach. Caregivers engaged in many activities that are included in traditional models: parents supported their children's learning at school, at home, and in the community, they built their children's motivation, and they laid a foundation on which learning could occur. Other types of involvement arose from the context in which the participants lived: parents navigated complex systems to gain access to particular schools and they taught their children how to confront discrimination. Barriers to involvement included lack of systemic knowledge, isolation in certain schools, stereotypes of African American families, developmental needs of the child, and time and money. Resources that caregivers drew from included extended family and friends, professional help, religious faith, self-reliance, and familial knowledge. Parent involvement different by gender principally in terms of racial socialization. The complexity and fluidity of the families in which the students lived made patterns of involvement according to family composition more difficult to discern. A conceptualization of parent involvement that incorporates these themes in addition to the individual and societal context is presented. Implications for social work research and practice are discussed.
