Book excerpt: This study examined the perceptions of parents on their role in involvement in their children's education and determined if there was a difference in parents' perception of parental engagement based on ethnicity. The data used in this study was taken in 2013 from a sample of parents of elementary (K - 5) and secondary (6 - 12) students in a mid-south suburban school district that consist of rural, urban and suburban schools. The following questions were researched in the dissertation: 1) What role does a parent's perception of child rearing values, goals, and expectations have when considering academic norms at school?; 2) What role does parent's reported actions and behaviors have in a child's day-to-day education?; 3) What role does parent's reported actions and behaviors related to major educational decisions have in the child's education?; and 4) Is there a significant difference in parents' perception of parental engagement based on ethnicity on the 33 individual items and across the four constructs? The responses to survey questions provided the answers for the research questions. Size of measurement and exploration of relationships through descriptive research, correlation research and group comparisons are emphasized in a quantitative viewpoint. Findings in this study are consistent with the argument that many parents are involved effectively in their children's education despite the consequences of cultural backgrounds and family circumstances. There is not a statistically significant difference found in parents' perception of parental involvement based on ethnicity on the 33 individual items and across the four constructs in the majority of the respondents. Considerable effort must be made to involve parents in their children's schooling, however; to best achieve this task, practitioners must explore parents' current understanding of parental involvement, how parents view what actions they are to take in regards to involvement and what are the expectations and perceived indicators of success of desired outcomes for that involvement. Further, practitioners should make the effort to understand the parents that they serve and convey to them that their opinions or suggestions are desired and important. To achieve such a phenomenon, parents must feel welcomed and valued as equal participants in their child's education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Education legislation has been enacted in the past 20 years to address the problem of low academic achievement and gaps in achievement between groups of students in schools today. One mandate of the legislation is for schools to implement and maintain strategies to increase parental involvement. Studies have proven that parental involvement often leads to increased academic achievement, lower absenteeism, and less behavioral issues. Ringenberg et al. (2005) created the Parents and Schools Survey (PASS) around the constructs of Epstein's (1992) preceptions of their involvement in those constructs at one elementary school in a Midwest school district. Findings included statistically significant differences in parents' perceptions in the areas of Decision-Making and Learning at Home. Barriers to involvement were also examined. -Abstract.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines school level differences on different dimensions of teacher-rated parent involvement and school climate while adjusting for age, gender, ethnicity, how certified, and number of years teaching. Two hundred twenty-four elementary teachers from existing data and 178 teachers at the middle school level provided information on their perceptions of parent involvement and school climate. Elementary school teachers were recruited from districts located in Texas and California. Middle school teachers were recruited from suburban school districts located in Southeast and Southwest Texas. Teachers rated questions on the parent involvement and school climate surveys as either: strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree. The nine research hypotheses generated for this study were partially supported by the data. As predicted, there was a difference between elementary and middle schools on how they perceive school climate. The data also supported the hypothesis that both Title I and non-Title I middle schools would find parent centers important for getting parents involved. Experience and school level also predicted how teachers perceived school climate. However, contrary to prediction, there were no significant differences between elementary and middle school teachers on how they perceived parent involvement. There also were no significant differences between elementary and middle school on the parent involvement scale when age, ethnicity, gender, school level, experience, and how certified were used as moderating variables. The same can be said for school climate when age, gender, ethnicity, and how certified were used as moderating variables. Several questions were analyzed separately between Title I and non-Title I middle schools and there were no differences for Title I status. Overall, current results indicated similarities between elementary and middle teachers. Similarities also existed between Title I and non-Title I middle school teachers. Explanations, implications for practice, and future research are discussed.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research which measured parents' and professional staffs' perceptions of parental involvement according to Epstein's six typologies of involvement was conducted in the Fallsburg Central School District, Fallsburg, New York. Epstein's framework of six types of involvement included (a) parenting, (b) communicating, (c) volunteering, (d) learning at home, (e) decision making, and (f) collaborating with the community. The study was a secondary analysis of an existing database of responses to a district survey administered by the board of education. Sixty-six professional staff and 60 parents participated in the study. In addition to measuring professional staffs' and parents' perceptions, four parent focus group interviews were conducted with groups of 3 to 8 persons, with group interviews conducted separately for Hispanic parents, parents of elementary, junior high, and high school students. In all areas of the survey, there were significant differences noted between professional staff (teachers and administrators) and parents. Professional staff generally perceived their schools to be practicing the parental involvement activities within each Epstein typology more than did their counterparts, parents. Further analysis of demographics indicated that older professional staff and parents tended to rate the extent to which activities were practiced in schools higher than younger professional staff and parents. White parents rated parental involvement activities practiced in their children's schools as more frequent than Hispanic, Native American and other ethnic group respondents. Professional staff and parent respondents tended to rate the frequency of parental involvement activities more highly the longer they had lived in the district. Focus group discussion revealed that language was a major barrier for many Latino parents in their child's education. Logistical issues, such as transportation and scheduling of events, were obstacles cited by minority parents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parent involvement can affect children in and of the school setting. Previous research related to parent involvement in schools has focused mostly on urban school district populations. There is a gap in research examining parent involvement within suburban school districts. Thus, the purpose of this study was to investigate what hinders and promotes parent involvement, as well as what parents define as best practices for parents. This study followed the constructivism interview approach through the use of a semi-structured interview protocol. Ten parents were recruited to participate from Southwestern Ohio suburban school districts. Participants were parents of children enrolled in grades kindergarten through twelfth during the 2018-19 school year. Parentparticipants reported five major components that defined best practices of parent involvement: regular open communication with both educators and students, supporting extracurriculars, assisting with schoolwork (i.e., homework, monitoring grades, and enrichment), presence in the school, and promoting healthy trajectory. Participants reported four major barriers that hindered parent involvement: time constraints due to working outside the home and inflexible work schedules, lack of communication from both educators and their children, an unwelcoming environment, and lack of volunteer opportunities provided by the schools. Parent participants reported four major facilitators that promoted parent involvement: being offered a variety of involvement opportunities, receiving more individualized communication as well as more organized and consistent communication from the school, a welcoming environment, and establishing a sense of connectedness through technology. The findings from this study can inform strategies to enhance parent involvement in suburban schools.

Book excerpt: The topic of the importance of parental involvement in a child's education has been researched for many years, but relatively few studies have discussed the individual contributions that father figures make to their children's schooling in comparison to mother figures, in particular at the suburban elementary school level. This descriptive quantitative study examined real and/or perceived barriers to suburban father figure involvement in comparison to mother figure involvement in their elementary children's education through hypothesized predictors: personal motivation, school invitation, and life context. Using the Parent Involvement Project (PIP) Study 1 questionnaire developed by Kathleen V. Hoover-Dempsey, Howard M. Sandler, and Joan M.T. Walker (2002), study findings and conclusions suggest fathers and mothers of children in the suburban elementary setting value and appreciate their child's educational experience, yet barriers exist preventing both genders from providing support to children in school. Father figures find their value to come from supporting their child academically with schoolwork outside of the elementary school community and classroom. Father figures report few specific invitations from the teacher or their own child to become actively engaged at school. Implications for practice would include invitations that outline academic goals and timelines, explicitly describe school expectations for involvement, and offer diverse opportunities for involvement in the school setting with clear explanations of how parents' participation increases student learning. Teachers should communicate respectfully and courteously with fathers, in a way that relays the school's appreciation for parents' involvement. In addition, gathering perceptions of school parental involvement initiatives data from teachers would facilitate comparisons between teachers' and fathers' views of the school setting. Most importantly, student initiated invitations to classroom involvement were a significant predictor of parents' role beliefs, thus promoting and fostering child and parent engagement is encouraged.

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.

Book excerpt: This autoethnography case study examined teacher and parent perceptions of effective parental involvement. In this qualitative study, the researcher took an in-depth exploration of a school's parental involvement program and processes (Creswell, 2003). The perspectives and experiences described by the principal/researcher, parents, and teachers participating in the parental involvement effort at the case study school adds to emerging research on effective and meaningful parental involvement. Narratives of the experiences, descriptions, and thoughts of what worked and what did not work at this school will provide insight and suggestions for other schools in strengthening parental involvement initiatives and add to the understanding of parental involvement processes. This autoethnographic research study provides a deeper understanding of parental involvement through an in-depth examination into the thoughts and feelings of the principal/researcher and school community members, particularly parents and teachers. Three parents and three teachers were purposefully selected from the case study school, located in a high poverty urban school set in the southeast region of the United States of America. Interview participants were selected based on their involvement in parental involvement efforts at the case school, their availability for interview, and their ability to provide detailed and rich narrative about the parental involvement efforts. In addition, participants were intentionally selected to allow multiple voices, perspectives, and opinions to be presented. The interview discussions were guided by a generated list of topics. Transcripts were analyzed, categorized, and summarized into common themes. Results of the research from this case-study has uncovered the following traits. For effective parental involvement to be present in schools, this research suggests parents must: be Positive about their child's education, be Active in their child's education, Value the importance of education, and Encourage student growth. Additional findings show in order for parents to reach their full potential in regards to parental involvement, the schools must be: Promoters of parental involvement, Accessible to parents, supportive of parents by providing Technical assistance, and Hopeful about the process of parental involvement and the potential of student growth. In essence, the research revealed that parents should "P.A.V.E. the Way" and schools should "Clear the P.A.T.H."
