This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past fifty years of school reform, American education now includes parental involvement as an important factor contributing to children’s academic success. Furthermore, government funding is now tied to parent involvement, in an effort to increase the role of parents in school buildings. The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions and experiences of parents participating in school-based parent involvement initiatives. Particularly, the study focused on investigating how parent involvement supported the exchange of cultural capital where parents could embody capital and relay said capital to their children. The study allowed for the voices of the parents that are engaged to be heard. The theoretical framework was in the was Bourdieu’s theory of cultural capital. The theory is based on the notion that what one knows or invests time to learn or understand, and has value within the institutional setting becomes something that the person can use to navigate through said institutions. This is a bounded case study that explored parent involvement and their perceptions of their experiences in parent involvement activities in the private school setting. The research site was a private K-8 building in a metropolitan area of the United States. The participants were parents of diverse age groups and backgrounds. The overall findings of the study point to one particular type of parent involvement activity as being significant and the most visible in terms of its operational effect. Parent involvement classes were the location where the exchange of cultural capital was most visible – where parents were viewed as equals. Additionally, parental voice – where trust had been established and meaningful relationships had been forged, was most dynamic within the school’s parenting classes, and the vehicle by which culture was exchanged.

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined the perceptions of parents on their role in involvement in their children's education and determined if there was a difference in parents' perception of parental engagement based on ethnicity. The data used in this study was taken in 2013 from a sample of parents of elementary (K - 5) and secondary (6 - 12) students in a mid-south suburban school district that consist of rural, urban and suburban schools. The following questions were researched in the dissertation: 1) What role does a parent's perception of child rearing values, goals, and expectations have when considering academic norms at school?; 2) What role does parent's reported actions and behaviors have in a child's day-to-day education?; 3) What role does parent's reported actions and behaviors related to major educational decisions have in the child's education?; and 4) Is there a significant difference in parents' perception of parental engagement based on ethnicity on the 33 individual items and across the four constructs? The responses to survey questions provided the answers for the research questions. Size of measurement and exploration of relationships through descriptive research, correlation research and group comparisons are emphasized in a quantitative viewpoint. Findings in this study are consistent with the argument that many parents are involved effectively in their children's education despite the consequences of cultural backgrounds and family circumstances. There is not a statistically significant difference found in parents' perception of parental involvement based on ethnicity on the 33 individual items and across the four constructs in the majority of the respondents. Considerable effort must be made to involve parents in their children's schooling, however; to best achieve this task, practitioners must explore parents' current understanding of parental involvement, how parents view what actions they are to take in regards to involvement and what are the expectations and perceived indicators of success of desired outcomes for that involvement. Further, practitioners should make the effort to understand the parents that they serve and convey to them that their opinions or suggestions are desired and important. To achieve such a phenomenon, parents must feel welcomed and valued as equal participants in their child's education.

Book excerpt: Despite the importance of postsecondary education to the economic and social vitality of the U.S. and the individuals who pursue this academic goal, the educational pipeline to and through college is broken for communities of color, the fastest-growing segment of the population. This report offers a revealing glimpse of the American system of public education from the perspective of those with the biggest stake in better schools: the parents of the African American children who are least well served by the system. This report is a meta-analysis of a two-part research program that involved both a quantitative survey and qualitative focus groups. The study was conducted in February and March 2012 in five target cities: Atlanta, Detroit, Memphis, New Orleans, and Washington, D.C. These cities were chosen because they have large African American populations, robust education reform efforts are under way or are part of a planning process to address the cities' challenges, and United Negro College Fund (UNCF) has a strong institutional presence there. These cities in particular face many of the educational challenges that prevent too many African American children from fulfilling their potential, and they therefore serve as excellent testing grounds. The key findings from this study reinforce and add greater details to the body of knowledge about African American parents and their involvement in the education of their children. Most important, a substantial percentage of low-income African American parents and caregivers who participated in the study (87 percent) have high aspirations for their children and overwhelmingly want them to graduate from college. An appendix contains the following: (1) Data Collection Methods; and (2) Topics on Which Low-Income Parents Would Like More Information to Support Their Child's Academic Progress.

This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of this exploratory study was to examine the understandings and perceptions that West Indian parents and caregivers residing in the U.S. have about U.S. public schools. A second purpose of this study was to examine the consistency between these findings and the cultural-ecological theory advanced by Ogbu (1974) which posits that immigrant minorities to the U.S. hold different perceptions and expectations in relation to U.S. schools. Using interviews with 13 families in the Tampa Bay area, the study examined West Indian parents' and caregivers' understanding of the American public schooling process, expectations for education, role beliefs, and roles they played in their children's schooling. Several themes emerged from the interviews regarding these areas. These themes included: families viewed education in very instrumental ways (a finding that aligned with Ogbu's cultural-ecological theory), families had overwhelmingly positive perceptions of resources and opportunities offered by U.S. public schools, and most families were satisfied with the home-school relationship. A minority of families described negative relationships with schools. In addition, families reported that they believed school-based involvement was important. However, they reported very low levels of school-based involvement, but high levels of home-based involvement. Obstacles to parent involvement included logistical barriers, and lack of familiarity with the U.S. school system. Implications of the findings for school personnel are discussed and suggestions for further research are offered.
