Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: Parental involvement is essential to the academic success of students, but socio-economically disadvantaged parents are not as involved in one rural Tennessee elementary school. Effective communication between home and school has been said to increase parental involvement. The purpose of this study is to examine parents' attitudes and perceptions of effective home-school communication. Using a qualitative survey research design and theoretical framework of Urie Bronfenbrenner, elementary school parents, teachers, and administrators of a rural Tennessee school district were interviewed or completed an anonymous questionnaire to reveal perceptions and attitudes about home school communication. The findings from the study indicate that effective communication should be abundant and advantageous, positive relationships should be fostered between teachers, parents, and administration to ultimately accomplish shared accountability of students' learning pathway.

Download or read book An Exploration of Perceptions of how School home Communication Leads to Parental Involvement in a Rural High School written by John Wesley Hooper and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students benefit greatly from strong partnerships among parents, schools, and communities (Epstein, 2008). Heightened communication between schools and families increases students' ability to achieve in school (Ferrara, 2015) through the completion of assignments, improved engagement in class, and better overall attitudes toward school (Shirvani, 2007). Ross (2016) connected positive parental involvement to the completion of high school and advancement into postsecondary education for students identified as at risk of dropping out. Epstein (1995, 2008) categorized parental involvement into six types: parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision making, and collaborating with the community. However, parents do not become involved automatically. Hoover-Dempsey, Walker, and Sandler (2005) named three contributing factors in parents becoming involved in schools: parents' role construction, invitation to become involved, and life context. The purpose of this study explored the current communication practices between parents and school in a rural secondary school and how parents and school personnel perceived the effectiveness of those practices in facilitating positive parental involvement in school. In this study, parents and school personnel were interviewed to determine their perceptions of the communication practices of a rural high school regarding its impact on parental involvement. Artifacts were also gathered from the school's automated call-out system for review. The findings of this study revealed seven themes: Methods for Mass Communication, Types of and Reasons for Individual Communication, Communication's Impact on Parental Involvement, How Parental Involvement Impacts Student Achievement, How Parental Involvement Changes as Students age Into High School, Perception of Current Parental Involvement Within the School, and Impact of Rural Setting on Parent Involvement. Schools should be diligent in not only using various methods to communicate with parents, but should also seek feedback as to the effectiveness of their methods, and be willing to change as the need arises. However, simply communicating information may not be enough to motivate parents to involvement. Schools should be conscious of the content they communicate in order to provide appropriate invitations to all types of involvement.
