This book was released on 2015 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latinos have a pattern of low academic achievement, starting in elementary school and persisting through high school and college. This pattern of achievement remains lower than that of any other group. In 2050, it is expected that Latinos will make up 30% of the U.S. workforce. This research looks at the role that parent involvement plays in academic achievement based on principals' perceptions. Perceptions are important because they influence behavior and decision making. The parent-involvement activities studied are based on the Epstein framework of six types. A survey was sent to 435 principals from the northwest suburbs of Chicago who served in schools that had a substantial Latino population. Statistical analysis of the data indicated that learning at home and communication were the two types of activities that 102 respondent principals viewed as most significant. They saw involving parents in decision making as having the least impact on achievement. Demographic characteristics of principals were reviewed, and gender, education, and ethnicity were significant in terms of the six types of parent-involvement activities. Qualitative data recorded from open-ended questions gave Spanish language services as the most important factor playing a positive role in family-involvement activities and lack of Spanish abilities on the part of school personnel and English deficiencies on the part of parents as the biggest barrier. The principals were asked if they had been trained in parent-involvement activities, and a full 73% of them said they had not had a single class in parent involvement in their professional preparation. Language services seem to be significant in increasing relationships between parents and school personnel. This can lead to better communication about how to support students at home and in school. It is clear from the study that principals could benefit from more training in this area in preparation for working with Latino student populations.

Download or read book Understanding Mexican American Parents' Perceptions and Attitudes Towards Language Learning written by Claudia Alexa Corniel and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Latino-Hispanic students currently begin their educational career learning less and underperforming their White counterparts. With this learning trajectory, Latino-Hispanic students are falling behind their peers, most notably within the core subject area of language arts. This achievement gap is a problematic issue that legislators, schools and educators continue to debate over how to effectively resolve. This study utilized a quantitative research approach to investigate attitudes and behaviors of Mexican American parents towards their children’s language learning. The purpose of this study was to understand the impact of parents’ language use, children’s language use at home, parents’ education levels, and household income on the perceptions of Mexican American parents with respect to their child’s language learning, the kinds of support they provide at home around language learning, and their engagement with school-based parental involvement activities. SPSS 22.0 was used to analyze the survey data. Descriptive statistics and mean scores were used to calculate frequencies of parental engagement and perceived value of language learning respectively. Overall, the findings suggest that Mexican American parents value their children’s language learning. Moreover, that they are involved with their child’s language learning in varying degrees. Implications of this study point towards more parent-teacher collaboration and a more efficient way of parent volunteer utilization in the classroom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, gender and schooling in the early years addresses a broad range of issues including, but not limited, to gender equity in education. We explore, for example, the complex world of play in Fromberg's chapter and are reminded that for young children, play involves issues of power and hierarchy in ways that parallel the role of gender in society. Miletta's study of preschool children in northern Italy, at Reggio Emilia, reveals a story of classroom interactions where gender differences are not part of the equation for the youngsters. Her chapter begs the question, "How does this environment empower all children, regardless of gender?" Two chapters provide a lens to the Montessori setting for young children. Wilgus studies the gendered patterns of young women teaching at a Montessori school, while Irby, Rodriguez, and Lara-Alecio explore the intersections of culture and gender at a bilingual Montessori public school. Further examining the preschool years, Plaster and Schiller address the current brain research and examine the ways in which the adults that staff early child care programs, and the environments that they offer, play an important role in the development of our children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American schools are becoming increasingly diverse. With the increasing diversity in school enrollment, professionals are faced with the challenge of providing culturally sensitive services in all areas, including crisis intervention planning. Additionally, language differences also affect help-seeking behaviors and may serve as a strong barrier to effective service delivery. Taking into account individual school and district demographics, schools must consider strategies to best meet the needs of students and families from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parental involvement in the education of their children has been a widely popular area of study in the past. There is general consensus among many scholars as to the importance and potential positive outcomes of effective parental involvement. Educational researchers such as Lee and Bowen (2006), Marschall (2006), and Jeynes (2007) agree that high levels of parental involvement can result in the improvement of students' academic achievement and improve their attitudes toward education. This area of educational research can be especially impactful among typically lower achieving subgroups of students, such as students of low socioeconomic status (SES) or English Language Learners (ELLs). That makes this issue particularly important for researchers studying English Language Learners or related fields, because parental involvement could have the potential to help diminish the achievement gap for them. The purpose of this research study is to investigate parental attitudes to and perceptions of their involvement in their child's education in a middle school setting in a small city school district in Western New York. It also seeks to delineate specific factors that parents at this school perceive to positively or negatively impact their involvement at the middle school level, specifically those related to language or cultural differences. The goal of this study is to determine specific ways this school can improve parental involvement and home-school relationships for Spanish-speaking parents' based on their own perceptions, in turn, improving the educational outcomes of their children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family and community involvement are increasingly touted as a means of improving both student and school-level achievement. This has led to an increase in policies, initiatives and goals designed to address family involvement in schools. Once recognized and implemented, such family-school partnerships can lead to the following benefits: enhanced communication and coordination between parents and educators; continuity in developmental goals and approaches across family and school contexts; shared ownership and commitment to educational goals; increased understanding of the complexities of children’s situations; and the pooling of family and school resources to find and implement quality solutions to shared goals.

Download or read book Understanding Latino Parental Involvement in Education written by Maria Estela Zarate and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latino community has been characterized by low high school graduation rates, low college completion rates and substandard schooling conditions. As schools and policymakers seek to improve the educational conditions of Latinos, parental influence in the form of school involvement is assumed to play some role in shaping students' educational experiences. Despite this national interest in parental involvement, little research has been conducted on what constitutes parental involvement in the middle and high school years. Additionally, stakeholders hold diverse definitions of parental involvement, and little attention has been paid to how Latino parents, specifically, define parental involvement. The growing national interest in parental involvement and lack of research on Latino perceptions on the issue motivated the Tomas Rivera Policy Institute (TRPI) to examine what constitutes parental involvement for schools, Latino students, and Latino parents. In conducting this study, the Institute examined: (1) Latino parents' perceptions of their participation in the education of their children; (2) Schools' and teachers' expectations of parental involvement; (3) Programmatic initiatives addressing parental involvement in education; and (4) Latino students' perceptions of the role of parental involvement in their education. Findings indicate that divergent definitions and perceptions of parental involvement in education exist among different stakeholders and that schools lack clear organizational goals and objectives on how best to involve parents in the schools. These insights can inform discussions about how schools can best acknowledge, encourage, and increase parental involvement in schools. School administrators, school board members, corporate school partners, policymakers, outreach programs, parent leaders, and teachers may find study results useful as they seek to increase parental involvement in schools. A list of resources for further reading is included.(Contains 4 footnotes and 2 tables.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book is the perfect guide for those administrators and teachers who are truly interested in equalizing educational opportunities at all levels." —Rebecca S. Compton, Professor of Elementary Education East Central University Proven strategies for increasing the academic performance of students with low school-readiness skills! Children of low socioeconomic status often enter school with low school-readiness skills, leading them to be misidentified as learning disabled. Educators in Grades K–12 can allocate resources for special education services more effectively and meet the needs of low SES students by preventing students from being placed in the wrong program and by providing readiness supports. Offering an in-depth look at schools that have realized effective results in remarkable time frames, the authors challenge educators and parents to consider how low expectations can affect student achievement—and emphasize optimism as a necessary tenet of schools′ day-to-day teaching/learning programs and school-community relationships. This resource provides: Training resources for teaching low SES students Assessment tools for identifying learning needs Strategies for building relationships of trust and collaboration throughout the school community Data charts that illustrate the increase in student achievement from schoolwide initiatives A bibliography and glossary of pertinent research and terminology With these strategies and tools, schools can meet the developmental and environmental needs of their most vulnerable students and watch student achievement and confidence soar!

Download or read book An Exploratory Study of the Perceptions and Experiences of U.s.-born Latino Parents in a High-poverty Urban School District in Relation to Their Role in the Education of Their Children written by Sylvia Ramirez Reyna and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative interpretive research study was to explore the perceptions and experiences of seven second- and third-generation U.S.-born Latino parents in a high-poverty urban school district in Texas regarding their role in their children0́9s schooling. Specifically, this study was organized to understand what the selected Latino parents perceived as parent involvement, what expectations they had of the school and, conversely, what expectations the school personnel had of them, and finally, what perceptions the parents held about their role in school-parent activities. Though parent involvement is considered to be one of the most important factors in a child0́9s success in school, this study also explored the perceived chasm in the alignment between the school and the home of the U.S.-born Latino family. The interpretative approach and dialogical exchange, through a semi-structured interview process, provided the opportunity to add the voices of second- and third-generation U.S.0́3born Latino parents to the current discourse about parent involvement. All of the participants met a general description as a second- or third-generation U.S.-born Latino, whose primary language is English, whose children have been involved in the identified school system for at least five years and were academically successful, and who the school considered to be uninvolved in the schooling process. The data analysis process involved a methodical process of breaking down the information presented in in-depth interview transcripts, observation, field notes, documents, and participant and researcher texts. By using a focused coding technique, patterns or concepts that best represented the participants0́9 voices surfaced. The codes were reviewed and categories or themes were then developed. The parents0́9 voices also provided information suggesting that the perceived lack of participation in the sanctioned school activities by some U.S.0́3born Latino parents stems from an apparent failure on the part of school personnel to recognize the cultural capital and richness of the culturally diverse household. Specifically, through the theoretical framework of funds of knowledge, the stories of the seven second- and third-generation U.S.-born Latinos noted that Latino families have assets that contribute to the academic success of their children, yet they are often dismissed by school personnel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study examines parental perceptions concerning New Albany Elementary School in North Mississippi. The study is twofold: (a) to examine perceptions of Hispanic English language learners' parents concerning three aspects of New Albany Elementary (learning environment, including an immersion program for English language learners; home-school relations; and the social and physical environment of the school) and (b) to examine three aspects concerning school participation of English language learners' parents (the level of participation in school activities, the level of participation in home activities which support the school, and possible explanations for non-participation). Due to liberal immigration laws, linguistic diversity has increased significantly in the United States. It was estimated that in the 1980s one out of 10 students in the school system was from a non-English speaking family. This number reportedly increased to one out of seven in 1990 (McKay & Wong, 2000). The influx has forced school systems to face a language barrier in educating students and involving parents. Controversy thus exists on how to best incorporate the non-English speaking student and parent in the educational process (McKay & Wong). The survey instrument used in this study was the South Carolina Parent Survey instrument. The instrument was designed by Dr. Frank E. White, Jr. and Dr. Jo Anne Anderson of the South Carolina Department of Education. The questions used to develop this instrument were tested for reliability and validity by the statistics department of the University of South Carolina. The instrument focuses on the learning environment, school-parent relations, and the physical and social environment that the school provides vi for students. The six types of parental involvement identified by Dr. Joyce Epstein were influential in the development of this instrument. Dr. White and Dr. Anderson followed a rigorous course to devise a comprehensible instrument that would be easy to understand. The instrument was translated into Spanish and used by the South Carolina State Department of Education. Dr. White and Dr. Anderson's instrument was designed to reflect questions that will elicit information relating to parental perceptions and parental involvement patterns. Baker (1998) noted that teachers were surveyed regarding student success in the immersion program. The results indicated that the immersion program was more successful than the bilingual program. Even though the response of teachers is very positive toward the immersion method, barriers do exist. Baker stated that teachers need to have a strong command of the English language. A translator can be used to assist with the language barriers in the classroom. Wu (1995) noted the positive response of teachers concerning children in the immersion process as they advance through the grade levels.
