Why is Parent Involvement so important?
Parental involvement not only enhances academic performance, but it also has a positive influence on student attitude and behavior. A parent's interest and encouragement in a child's education can affect the child's attitude toward school, classroom conduct, self-esteem, absenteeism, and motivation.
SIX TYPES OF PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT
Type 1: Parenting
Assist families with parenting and child-rearing skills, understanding child and adolescent development, and setting home conditions that support children as students at each age and grade level. Assist schools in understanding families.
Type 2: Communicating
Communicate with families about school programs and student progress through effective school-to-home and home-to-school communications.
Type 3: Volunteering
Improve recruitment, training, work, and schedules to involve families as volunteers and audiences at the school or in other locations to support students and school programs.
Type 4: Learning at Home
Involve families with their children in learning activities at home, including homework and other curriculum-linked activities and decisions.
Type 5: Decision Making
Include families as participants in school decisions, governance, and advocacy through PTA/PTO, school councils, communities, and other parent organizations.
Transformative Family Engagement
Parents know that they play an important role in their child’s success. But traditional family engagement practices don’t always meet the needs of each and every family, nor treat them as equal partners in ensuring their child’s success. Family-School partnerships often focus primarily on academic success, but whole child development is also an essential part of the conversation. The solution? Transformative Family Engagement.
Transformative family engagement is a shared effort of families, schools and community leaders to advance programs, practices and policies that empower every parent to make their child’s potential a reality.
The Four 'I's of transformative family engagement outline how your PTA can become more inclusive, individualized, integrated and impactful in its approach to family engagement.
