This book was released on 2013 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Partnerships between family and school can improve school programs and school climate and also increase parent leadership skills and the level and quality of parent involvement (Epstein, 1995). Parents who are involved in their children's education improve their children's chances of academic success. However, if schools do not work together with families to promote constructive involvement, partnerships between families and school often decline as children progress from elementary, middle and high school (Epstein, 1995). The development of partnerships between schools and families is one of the biggest problems that urban schools face. Due to the lack of funds, effective guidance and clear directives that demonstrate how to create, maintain and evaluate partnerships, urban schools that assist students from high risk communities have a difficult time in developing effective partnerships between the school and families (Sanders & Harvey, 2002). The purpose of this study was to determine if there is an association between the degree to which parents perceive the school to be fostering school and parent partnership programs and the achievement of urban high school students. Using the High School and Family Partnership Survey (Epstein, Connors & Salinas, 1993), parents of students that attend a high school in a mid-Atlantic urban school district completed questions to obtain information on their perceptions about the school's efforts to foster school and parent partnerships in the overall and six distinct areas of Epstein's framework. The Maryland High School Assessment (HSA) provided data to determine the level of student achievement. A correlational design was developed to test the null hypothesis that there is no association between the degree to which parents perceive the school to be fostering school and family partnership programs and the academic achievement of students attending an urban high school. Six classrooms were selected, three from each grade levels11 and 12 in one large urban high school. The students in the selected classrooms were asked to take a copy of the survey home, request a parent to complete the survey, and return the completed survey to their teacher. The results of the study showed that parents perceived volunteering to be the area in which the school is most successful in fostering parent involvement and collaborating with the community as the lowest area. Results also showed a difference in parent perspectives of how the school was fostering relationships based on student gender, grade level, race, parental employment status and parent education. The major implication of this study is the need to gain a better understanding of how schools might foster better relationships with the community. -- Abstract.

Abstract: Abstract This research study presents an analytical picture of the development of home-school partnership in a special secondary school. Some successful practices as well as conflicts are outlined to give the readers an understanding on how they can start or continue their journey to home-school partnership. Home-school partnership is one of the characteristics of quality home-school relationships. Research studies find that when parents take part in school activities, their children demonstrate more positive attitudes towards school and develop good habits in learning. While findings supporting parental involvement are demonstrated, barriers to home-school collaboration will be pinpointed in this report to show the difficulties encountered by most schools. Different theoretical frameworks of parental involvement, home-school relationships and parental roles are respectively described in this study. Another significant theme of this study is recognition and appreciation of the diversity in the schools and families in the community. The increasing diversity among families today puts further emphasis on the need for home-school communication to clarify possible differences of opinion about the values and practices that foster children's success in school. Example will be given to explain this point by describing how the writer's school worked together with the parents to go through the crisis of Severe Acute Respiratory 4Syndrome (SARS) in 2003. What we discover is that effective partnerships in diverse communities not only enhance children's achievement, but extend opportunities for the school to function as a site for learning and support for adults. This study presents a review of much that the writer has learned and experienced in working with his colleagues, students and their parents in a skills opportunity school. The nature of the barriers that stand in the way of home-school partnerships and the ways to diminish these barriers will be uncovered. The study also provides a vision of home-school relationships in which parents and educators forge an alliance to create better schools and to support the success of all children in school. It is hoped that the study will propose some thoughts to help more educators take steps along the path toward home-school collaboration. It is envisaged that this ethnographic study of home-school partnership will provide an inspirational mirror for those who are concerned about parental involvement.
