Book excerpt: Involving parents in their children's schooling is a matter of intense concern in North America. Teachers and administrators want to construct a program that creates positive involvement. This is especially critical for Chapter I schools that are mandated to use a portion of their funds for home-and-school programs. Jim Vopat believes that parental involvement should strengthen the link between home and school, and to achieve this goal parents need to be introduced to the revitalized school classroom. The Parent Project calls on the most powerful aspects of school reform--workshops, journals, cooperative groups, shared reading, agenda building, interviewing, goal setting, and critical thinking-classroom learning strategies experienced by children every day. When parents work with these strategies, they understand them and discover how to support them. Using a workshop/process model, parents become involved with their children's classroom activities and are thus empowered to support their children's education. These workshops ensure participant ownership of a program's overall agenda while providing long-term structures for support and continued development. The Parent Project: Provides a framework for implementing ways to get parents involved and informed. Was developed in urban bilingual school settings and includes workshop formats in Spanish and English. Is a complete source-book for teaches and principals that provides materials for conducting workshops with parents in areas of writing, reading, self-esteem, and community-building. Supports your efforts with a detailed description of what the workshop approach is and how it functions.
Download or read book The Outcomes of Implementing a Parent Involvement Program in an Inner city Elementary School written by Gretchen Elisabeth Riehl and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originating in the 1960's with Head Start, the message regarding the value of parent involvement in children's education has exponentially grown more pronounced. In fact, such sweeping legislation as IDEA (1997) and Goals 2000: Educate America Act has mandated the inclusion of parents in their children's education. Although the advantages of effective parent-school partnerships are well documented, the extent to which all socioeconomic groups are implementing such activities and reaping their benefits remains ambiguous. The foundational work of James Comer and Joyce Epstein addressed issues unique to parents and schools in lower-class, inner-city communities. For truly collaborative parent-school partnership to form and for the achievement of students to, in turn, increase, system-wide, long-term commitment to change must take place. Epstein identified six types of involvement between families and schools, and articulated particular outcomes expected to result from each type. A study of the implementation of a parent involvement program was conducted at an urban elementary school in The Columbus Public School District. The purpose of the study was to determine if participation in a parent involvement program resulted in the expected outcomes outlined in Epstein's six-typology framework of parental involvement. The study also examined parents' motivations for participating in the program, their expectations of it, and their perceptions of the benefits accrued from participation. An ethnographic interview was conducted with one parent utilizing the methodology outlined by Spradley (1979). Parent interviews were evaluated to determine the effects of the parent involvement program.

Book excerpt: Parent involvement is a topic of interest to school administrators; research and their own experience indicate that parent participation at the school site can have a significant influence on student achievement. Recent efforts to increase parent involvement through school-based and federally-funded programs have focused on helping schools and parents learn and routinize meaningful school and home roles for parents to play. Despite several attempts to develop means to increase parental involvement, administrators of Southern California inner-city schools continue to be faced with the problem of how to develop programs and strategies that will promote the kinds of productive parental involvement activities that can lead to increased student achievement for the specific student body in these schools. The majority of programs that have been implemented have been offered in general sessions with no particular grade-level focus. In response to the critical need for parent involvement, the Grade Level Parent Workshops program was created at a Southern California Elementary School. This program, in its fifth year of operation at the time of this study, allowed for parents to learn grade level skills of their own children in a series of grade-specific workshops. Because the majority of students at the site came from Spanish-speaking households, Spanish-speaking parents were given the opportunity to receive this information from bilingual teachers. Using Bronfenbrenner's Ecological Theory Model, this study explored the formation, practice, and impact of the program on parent and teacher participants and its influence on the individual practice and behavior of students, teachers, and parents and their relationship to one another. Data were gathered during a series of three focus group meetings with Latino and African-American parents and school site teachers and from six individual interviews with selected focus group participants. Data revealed that the Grade Level Parent Workshops created a welcoming environment for parents to come to the school and consult with their children's teachers, encouraged parent-teacher collaboration, provided needed assistance for parent-supported homework help, discredited stereotypes about inner-city parents not being interested in their children's academic success, and led teachers to redesign some of their in-class teaching and homework assignment practices.
