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 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.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education is arguably the oldest known profession in the history of mankind. It predates any other from of interactive processes that humans have participated in with each other. From the beginning of time man has been either the recipient or the deliverer of knowledge. It was not until sometimes later, after man's arrival on earth did formal education actually begin. Man was taught while living in the Garden of Eden what was right and what was wrong. He was given an infinite prescription to knowledge by his Creator, his Father. This was the first example of parental involvement. As time has passed the educational profession has evolved and changed from a rigid male dominated activity to a mosaic of many different integral players, which we call stakeholders. Not only have the players/stakeholders changed but also the strategies and techniques that educators use to disseminate the information from teachers to students have changed. Many students lack the necessary motivation and tenacity to meet the educational challenges directly and perform to their highest level intellectually. Instead, today students require/need something extra to help them excel academically and behaviorally. This action research project (Bogdan & Biklen, 1998; Creswell, 2003) investigates the impact that opening a parent/family center in an urban high school will have on increasing the level of parental involvement in their children's educational activities of Davenport High School. This action research project also sought to determine if the presence of a parent/family center would change the perception that students and parents have toward education. Research (Abrams, 2002; Comer, 1998, 1992-93; Epstein, 1986, 1994, 1995; Fehrmann et al., 1987; Finn, 1998; Jesse, 1998; & Lofthouse, 1999) supports the assertion that today's students need their parents, guardians, caregivers actively involved in their lives academically. The National Parent Teacher Association supports parents as partners, and as their students "first teachers." From this study I have come to the conclusion that parental involvement is vital to the success of students academically and behaviorally. When utilized correctly, parents can assist urban schools in their efforts to become competitive in preparing students to enter the workforce.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experiences and situations unique to black children and their parents are the focus of this comprehensive collection of current empirical research. The editors emphasize that `to be fully functional, (black children) must develop the skills to do well simultaneously in two different cultures, both black and non-black.' The contributors explode many of the myths surrounding the development of black children, and confirm that despite the economic mobility of some blacks, most black children live in an environment that threatens their physical existence. They also show that much of the child development research and literature has viewed black children negatively.

This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

In clear and accessible language, this work presents theories on learning and human relations. It then charts and reviews the important components of a successful school-parent partnership, giving specific recommendations on the best way to involve diverse groups of parents.
