Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many parents make good effort to attend school functions and support the educators who work with their children, some parents perceive barriers to participation in school-related activities. Literature indicated perceived language barriers, cultural understanding conflicts, financial and work related restraints, an atmosphere that is not always welcoming, judgmental attitudes, inconvenient scheduling, and lack of resources in time and money. Parents who are involved in their children's education tend to having higher expectations, encourage children to participate in activities, and notice higher performance in academics in the school setting. Educators who are aware of the perceived barriers can do much to help parents who are not involved with the school. School administrators or counselors who provide training to staff encouraging a welcoming environment and multiple opportunities to connect with parents in a positive manner, notice that parent engagement increases. School counselors, administrators and other educators need to be knowledgeable about how perceived barriers regarding participation in school settings impacts children at school. Educators need to utilize interventions and strategies to help children succeed while promoting parent involvement by removing perceived barriers encountered by dysfunctional or disadvantaged families.
Book Synopsis Families and Schools in a Pluralistic Society by : Nancy Feyl Chavkin

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.
Book Synopsis The Relation Between Child Behavior, School Engagement, and Perceived Barriers and Parent Involvement by : Nicole Dayhoff
Download or read book The Relation Between Child Behavior, School Engagement, and Perceived Barriers and Parent Involvement written by Nicole Dayhoff and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 39 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are positive outcomes for children whose parents are involved in school. Factors such as socioeconomic status (SES), child externalizing behaviors, parent perceptions on school engagement, and perceived barriers can influence parental involvement. The purpose of this study was to determine if the above-mentioned factors significantly influence parent involvement. Using multiple regression analyses with 3rd grade level data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study, the results indicated that all of the factors together significantly contributed to parent involvement. At the individual level, all factors except child externalizing behavior significantly influenced parent involvement. Future researchers may wish to re-evaluate the relationship between child behavior and parent involvement in light of inconsistent findings across studies.

Book excerpt: Parent involvement in their childrens education and school life was studied in England through a telephone survey of 2,109 households. Around 1 in 3 parents (29%) felt very involved in their childs school life, and primary school parents were more likely to feel this way than secondary school parents. Mothers were more likely to say that they were very involved than were fathers. Around 72% of all parents agreed that they wanted more involvement, and a third definitely agreed. Among the barriers to involvement, parents cited the competing demands in their lives such as work commitments, demands of other children, childcare difficulties, and lack of time generally. Almost all parents were happy with the schools attitude toward them, with a large majority finding the school welcoming (94%) and willing to involve them (84%). Parents particularly value face-to-face contact with teachers, but a significant minority thought that they would be labeled trouble makers if they talked too much. Parents were generally happy with the quality of written communications coming from schools, although a significant minority (27%) thought that the general information was spoiled by jargon. Many parents were not aware of the labels given to recent educational initiatives, and 35% did not recognize the term Home School Agreement, even though all had been invited to sign one. A Technical Appendix discusses sampling methods, and the survey questionnaire is attached. (Contains 12 figures, 26 tables, and 14 references.) (SLD)

Download or read book "Oh Father, Where Art Thou?" written by James Allen Edmond (Jr.) and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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: School and family environments have the most influence on the development of elementary- aged children. Parent involvement in both the school and home setting has multiple benefits for the child. More efforts are needed for schools and families in low socioeconomic areas to work collaboratively. Ethnic, cultural, and language differences, socioeconomic barriers, parent efficacy, and the role of schools can prevent families from becoming involved in the school setting. The purpose of this project was to provide educators with essential information regarding the benefits of parent involvement and recommend activities and opportunities to increase parent involvement by overcoming perceived barriers. A single elementary school was selected as a case study in the Sacramento City Unified School District. Teachers provided feedback on the feasibility of the activities as well as their current practices to recruit parents. The training post assessment showed that teachers gained knowledge and were open to providing opportunities for parental involvement, but few parents consistently volunteered at their school.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Early Childhood Education. As defined by Early Childhood Education Report 2014, Early childhood education (ECE) refers to programs for young children based on an explicit curriculum delivered by qualified staff and designed to support children's development and learning. Settings may include childcare centers, nursery schools, preschools, pre- or junior kindergarten and kindergarten (Akbari & McCuaig, 2014, para. 1). Millions of children every year are a part of these programs. But what is missing? Families. As the child's first teacher, parents and families provide the foundation for this development and learning, and their engagement, participation, and involvement are crucial for their current and future success. The purpose of this study is to understand the perceptions about family involvement/ engagement and barriers in early childhood education from administrators, teachers, and parents/caregivers. This study sought to develop a better understanding of these individuals' perspectives on this topic. By engaging in collective dialogues about each person's role, they explore how each relates to participation in their child's early childhood educational experiences. Through the findings and analysis of this study, specific guidelines and suggestions emerge for early childhood education programs related to family engagement to break down barriers in the future. As part of this study, I met with and interviewed ten individuals (four administrators, three teachers, and three parents) to understand barriers to family engagement. As a community that cares for young children, this study serves as an opportunity to understand better and overcome these barriers so that ALL can realize benefits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parent involvement is essential if students are to succeed in school. In fact, âparental involvement is more important to student success, at every grade level, than family income or educationâ (Starr, 2004). Yet many schools struggle to effectively engage parents in the education of their children as the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 now requires. The purpose of this study was to explore parentsâ, administratorsâ, and guidance counselorsâ perceptions of parent involvement at a Title I elementary school and a non- Title I elementary school, both of which are located in the southern Appalachian region of the United States, to identify successful parental involvement practices, and to determine the perceived impact of parent involvement on student achievement and school improvement. Specifically, this study explored the strategies employed within the 2 elementary schools to encourage parent involvement, identified effective practices of highly involved parents at the 2 schools, and determined barriers to parental involvement at the 2 elementary schools. The findings of this study suggested that parents in both elementary schools have very similar perceptions of parent involvement. Parents from each school reported that they feel welcome in their childrenâs school, communicate regularly with school personnel, engage in parent-child learning activities, and serve on decision making bodies within the school. Surprisingly, parents in both schools expressed a desire for more parent involvement and perceived some parents as not having an equal opportunity to participate in school functions. School personnel identified barriers to parent involvement and described the manner in which they were working to overcome challenges in their respective schools. While principals articulated the desire for greater parent involvement, they perceived their schools as providing opportunities for all parents to be actively engaged in the educational process.
