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.

Download or read book Parents' Perceptions of Parent Engagement written by chantara R. Carter and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-04-11 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this mixed-methods case study using a survey method with closed- and open-ended response items was to examine parents' perceptions of parental involvement practices based on Epstein's (1993) Framework of Six Types of Involvement. This study examined a district-wide parent involvement program to determine its conformance to research findings on effective family engagement strategies and practices, and to assess changes in parent involvement in schools. The participants of this study were parents whose children were in kindergarten through twelfth grade school. The evidence from the closed-ended responses supported that Epstein's Framework of Six Types of Involvement practices were key factors to parental involvement. Furthermore, the open-ended responses regarding parents' perceptions of parental involvement provided evidence of effective program practices. The results from this study can possibly inform parental involvement coordinators, district and school leaders in similar districts on whether parents perceived Epstein's Framework of Six Types of Involvement as an effective tool for parental engagement.
Book Synopsis The Evaluation of the Effects of School Newsletters on Parent Perceptions in an Urban School System by : Jeri Baucum McKinney
Download or read book The Evaluation of the Effects of School Newsletters on Parent Perceptions in an Urban School System written by Jeri Baucum McKinney and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research regarding the benefits and outcomes associated with parental involvement is expansive. However, there is a dearth of empirical research that critically examines interventions that increase parental involvement in schools where participation is limited. This study enhances the research on parental involvement by exploring the barriers that exist for minority families in high need public schools and examining the effect of school newsletters (grounded in Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler's (1995, 1997, 2005) theoretical model of the parental involvement process) on parents' perceptions regarding school outreach efforts. In addition, a subsidiary analysis examines teachers' perceptions regarding the presence of parental involvement at their school and the frequency in which teachers encouraged involvement from their parents. Data from an experimental and control group parent and teacher sample was collected. In addition, a repeated measures ANOVA was conducted to determine if parent perceptions and their motivation to become involved were influenced by the bi-weekly distribution of the school newsletter. Teacher perceptions were analyzed using a t-test, followed by a repeated measures ANOVA for significant interactions. Informal surveys were administered to parents and teachers at the end of the study to assess their reaction to the school newsletters. Results showed that parents and teachers favored school newsletters and found the newsletters readable, informative, and enjoyable. Further, school newsletters can be used as a practical tool to influence parent perceptions, as significant increases in parents' perceptions regarding the school's general outreach efforts were indicated. However, increases in parent perceptions were greater in the control school location without the newsletter as an intervention, but with an established system in place for communicating with parents. Similarly, significant increases in teachers' reports of parental involvement behaviors were found, but also in the control school. Using one practical and feasible method for transmitting information to parents and promoting outreach was identified as a method to increase parent involvement. Implications for schools attempting to examine interventions to increase parental involvement in urban school settings are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this case study research was to examine the perceptions of teachers and parents towards current parental involvement factors in a suburban junior high school located in the Midwest United States. Such perceptions were compiled by means of surveys based on Dr. Joyce Epstein's Framework of the Six Dimensions of Parental Involvement: (a) parenting, (b) communication, (c) volunteering, (d) learning at home, (e) decision-making, (f) and collaborating with the community (Epstein, 1995). The subjects were N=36 seventh and eighth grade teachers, and N=344 parents of students. The descriptive statistical analysis did show a difference between teachers and parents in the dimensions of parenting, communication, and learning at home. To determine if the differences between teachers and parents were statistically significant, independent sample t-tests were conducted. The results indicated a large effect in the areas of parenting, communication, and learning at home. In addition, a multiple regression analysis was conducted to evaluate demographic characteristics of both parents and teachers in relation to their responses to involvement practices. The demographic characteristics evaluated for parents were: (a) grade of student, (b) number of children in school, (c) ethnicity, and (d) household income. The demographic characteristics evaluated for teachers included: (a) grade level taught, (b) gender, (c) discipline, and (d) years of experience. The regression analysis of parental demographics did not show any practical significance in any of the six dimensions when evaluating their perceptions of involvement. The regression analysis of teacher demographics indicated that years of experience were practically significant in how they perceived parental involvement in the areas of parenting, volunteering, and collaborating with the community.

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 Voices of Latino Parents by : Evangelina M. Cantu
Download or read book The Voices of Latino Parents written by Evangelina M. Cantu and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant evidence suggests that parent participation and involvement are beneficial for student success. Latino parents, however, have historically been portrayed negatively in their role in their children's education. Deficit thinking paradigms have framed much of the negative depictions about Latino parents. This study proposes that the negative portrayals of Latino parents may in part be a result of how parent involvement has been traditionally defined. Schools define parent involvement in ways that Latino parents may not conform to. As a result, schools label parents as non-involved. In an effort to demystify the myth that Latino parents do not value nor care for their children's education, this study set out to examine Latino parents' perceptions about parent involvement as well as how they involve themselves in their children's education. The findings suggest that Latino parents define and perceive parent involvement in ways that differ significantly from the way schools have defined it. Furthermore, parents' perceptions of their roles, the role of the school and the teachers point to a need to examine how these perceptions intersect with the perceptions of the school and the teachers. This study presents an alternative way to view parent involvement. It is concluded that the negative depiction of Latino parents is due in part to the fact that schools are expecting them to conform to practices and engage in activities that are not necessarily what they view as important in their children's education. Further research that provides a more inclusive definition and expands the discourse about Latino parent involvement is suggested.
