This book was released on 2016-11-21 with total page 525 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
Download or read book The Effect of Parent Involvement on the Measures of Academic Progress Assessment written by Melissa Anne Dresko and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are a set of academic standards in mathematics and English language arts. The mathematics standards introduce students to many new strategies and expectations to which parents have never been exposed. Many parents have expressed concern and frustration about these standards because they are unable to help their children with completing homework correctly. In addition to this, research has confirmed that parental involvement in education is positively associated with student achievement. Therefore, it is a worry if parents are unable to help their children with homework. The major aim of this study was to further investigate parents' attitudes towards mathematics, and more specifically towards the changes that the CCSS have created in 3rd & 4th grade mathematics. Additionally, this study could be beneficial in making future decisions about supporting parents and families. Parents of 3rd & 4th graders were interviewed and asked questions about their feelings towards mathematics, if they help with the mathematics homework, and if they are happy with the changes in mathematics. This information was then compared with their child's winter scores on the standardized district assessment called, Measures of Academic Progress (MAP). Although there was not a direct relationship between students' scores on the MAP assessment and the parents' responses, the information collected from the interviews was extremely valuable. Parents have noticed changes in the way students are being taught mathematics and those changes are making it difficult for parents to support their children with homework. The majority of parents are not happy with the changes and do not see the benefits to their children's mathematics skills. Interestingly, many would be interested in a type of mathematics training course for parents. This could lead to parents feeling more supported by the school, and in turn, being able to support their children with homework.
Download or read book Effect of Family Math on Student Achievement and Attitude written by Brian C. McFadden and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not 4th grade students participating in a series of Family Math Nights had significantly higher achievement scores as well as student and parent attitudes about mathematics when compared to students at the same school who did not participate in the Family Math Nights. In order to gauge the effectiveness ofthe Family Math Nights the following items were analyzed: student achievement will be evaluated by analyzing data using a pretest and posttest of the 4th grade mathematics curriculum given to control and experimental groups; student and parent attitudes about mathematics will be analyzed using a Likert scale survey both at the beginning and conclusion of each Family Math Night. The surveys will be analyzed to see if the Family Math Nights have an impact on student and parent attitudes toward mathematics. Overall, this study provides quantitative information about the effect Family Math can have on students in one elementary school classroom. There is not sufficient evidence to support the positive effect Family Math had on student achievement in mathematics. Yet, for this study when student attitudes were analyzed, survey scores indicated that attending a series of Family Math Nights improved student attitudes towards mathematics. KEYWORDS: Family Math, student achievement, attitudes, parent involvement, parent-school relationships

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by authors well known in their fields, Merttens and Vass bring together diverse and different views on IMPACT of wide reading appeal. In the current economy, should teachers be regarded as producers and parents as consumers? There is no issue in education more urgent than that concerning the relationships between parents, teachers and children. The IMPACT project involves individuals concerned with formal maths education including students, teachers, parents, governors, researchers, inspectors and education offcers. Its primary aim is to bring together parents and children so they share regular maths activities together, the results of which are brought back into class to inform the following week's work. IMPACT is also an initiative in maths INSET training and a form of monitoring.; The book is aimed at therapists, educational psychologists, education students, teachers, academics, parents, governors, inspectors and education officers.
