Parental Involvement On Children 's Studies

There is research that strongly indicats that the most effective forms of parental involvement are those which engage parents in working directly with their child on learning activities. Children’s perceptions change when they know their parents are getting involved in their homework. There should be two-way communication between the schools and the child’s parent through daily student agendas, phone calls and meetings

Parents are a primary role in their child’s developing stages of life, especially education. Even if they do not realize it, parents play a major part in whether their child succeeds academically or not. Studies have been done to demonstrate the need for parental involvement in children’s school life; the question is how involved should parents be. There are multiple views on how involved a parent should be in their child’s education. Children need a support system to help guide them throughout their school career; the argument between many is how involved parents should be in their child’s academics.

Parental Engagement is crucial for a student to have academic achievement, whether it be in grade school or college.Parents need to be that person who guides the child through homework if they need help, bringing them to school, and going to parent teacher conferences to make sure their child is on the right path. Doing all these things could show your child that you're there if they need you and it brings encouragement to them, whether they show that or not.

Parental Involvement: How Parents Contribute to School Success Kechia Howell Capella University ED 5320 August 4, 2017 As parents and teachers prepare for the new school year, there are many ways that parents and teachers can ensure that a student is successful throughout the school year.

Maintaining an open line of communication at all times is very important to the success of all students at any level from kindergarten to high school seniors.

Involving Parents When a person makes the decision to pursue a career in the educational field, they start to become more and more interested in finding ways to involve the parents into their child’s education. A teacher’s goal is to be a great educator and for the student to enjoy learning. Most teachers would like to be the one that students look back on and wish that their current teacher was more like. Elementary teachers could make the homework more like games but high school teachers have a more difficult task in keeping the teenagers interested and content about the homework given to them. While teaching at an elementary level, teachers want their students to be able to continue their learning at home in a more relaxed

Parental involvement in education is a vital essential for creating a cooperative environment for the student to thrive and succeed in. When a student knows that he or she is receiving support both inside and outside the school, the chances of that child becoming responsible for and active in their education are more likely. I know that there can be difficulties including parents for many reasons. Such parents may be too busy, uninterested or just feel helpless. However, as an educator, I will still have an obligation to reach out to these parents and assist them.

How Parental Involvement Improves Student Achievement in School Involving parents in the education (Dimmock & O’Donoghue, 1996). “Research indicates that parents who are involved in their child’s academic life have a profound effect on the child’s ability to learn and help instill in them an appreciation for learning that can last a lifetime” (Pape, 1999, p. 2). The National Education Association President, Bob Chase says, “Family involvement in a child’s academic life is critical. A balance must be struck between family, school, and community that allows a child to flourish, both in academics and as a person” (Pape, 1999, p. 3).

There are countless positive associations between parent and family engagement and student academic confidence and success. Many organizations, including the National Parent Teacher Alliance (PTA) and Parents for Public Schools (PPS), work to encourage parents and families take on an active role in supporting and reinforcing their child’s education. The PTA website gives many parent guides to support and direct engagement. Their guide Making Sure Your Child Gets the Education They Deserve advises parents to have high expectations of school buildings and equipment as well as initiate and maintain strong contact with their child’s teacher (pta.org). The PPS websites gives similar advice to parents and families stating, “School success takes great leadership, effective teachers and engaged parents.  We believe that parents are an essential education partner from the moment their children are born” (2017).

Many parents can become very busy trying to put food on the table for their families and not even worry about the level of academic achievement from their children. Many parents rely on the schools to teach them everything they need to know, but really parents are supposed to read with their children, assist on homework, and have some discussions about school. Parent involvement affects the student’s achievement because the interaction between the parents and the child affects the student’s motivation. In an article by the ASCD, it expresses the importance of parents being greatly involved in their child’s curriculum. When parents are involved in their child’s curriculum, the child tends to do better in school, stay in school longer, likes school more. Many parents tend to rely on the schools to help their children with their academic performance, but what some families fail to understand is that they are responsible for the outcome of their child’s performance in school not just the teachers. Some parents think that once they drop their kid at school that the student is getting all the help they need, and that is where the problem is, extra help should be implemented amongst parents. Students who are academically supported are less likely to engage in any drug usage, violence, or any inappropriate activities. You can not expect a child to learn on its own. With support and involvement of families, students attentive levels will increase inside the classroom. ASCD. "Making the Case for Educating the Whole Child." Educating The Whole Child (2012): 8-10. Students Must Be Engaged. ASCD, 2012. Web. 11 Jan. 2016.PDF

According to Marphatia, Legaul, Edge, and Archer the environment in which parents and children live directly influence how much time is available to parents and the level of which they are able to contribute to their child’s education. Epstein, Coates, et al., tell us that what a family does with the child(ren) is more important to student success than family income or the education level of the parents. Parental participation improves student learning. Epstein defines parent involvement as families and communities who take an active role in creating a caring educational environment. Epstein says that parents who are involved with their child(ren)’s education are those who do 6 things - demonstrate good parenting skills, communicate with the school, volunteer in their child(ren)’s school, engage in the learning process at home, takes an active role in the school decision making process, and who collaborates with the school and the school based community.

Academic Effects of Active Parental Involvement Findings demonstrate that parent involvement in a child’s learning is positively related to their achievement. The first teachers of our children are the adults in the home. This is where the children learn their attitudes and values that are engraved in them for the remainder of their lives. When families as a whole participate, in children’s education in positive ways, there are noticeable changes in the child’s test scores, attendance records, quality of work, attitudes and behavior, graduation rates, and the amount that enroll in higher education. The level of involvement is often questioned by the parents; however, research suggests that “the more intensively parents are

A way teachers can support collaborative relationships with families is that they can offer helpful information to the parents when it comes to their child. Parents that are willing to help with their student’s academics. They simply want the best for their child. If the teacher is constantly offering new information to the parents this can help the parent to get involved with their child’s academics. According to the article Facilitative Conferences: Parents and Teachers Working Together it was stated that, when teachers have conferences with parents it helps find additional useful consequences while parents obtain recommendations about certain methods in which they may be capable to accommodate the learning styles and essentials of their child (Simmons, 2002, P.90). Teachers can provide extra worksheets or even websites so that parents can help with their child’s success in their education. It was also stated that parents may want to have some information about how to assist their children with homework. Some parents may not know how go about with homework, therefore it is important that the teacher is
