Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examined perceptions of effective parent involvement for military parents with children in elementary school. Schools can cater to the needs of military parents by offering activities that parents prefer when consideration is given to rank and the grade level of the child. The population included soldiers stationed at an Army post in the southeastern part the United States. The target population was military parents with children in kindergarten through fifth grade. The sample population included the military parents with children enrolled in elementary schools near the Army installation. A causal-comparative research design was used to compare mean scores of parents’ perception of effective parent involvement. A modified version of the Effective Parent Involvement: Parent and Teacher Perceptions Survey evaluated the perceptions of effective parent involvement based on five dimensions. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was used to determine the difference in perception means of officers and enlisted soldiers who have students in a military-affiliated elementary school and perception mean scores according to grade level. Extreme outliers were checked using box plots. Scatterplots were used to check for linear relationships between dimensions. The multivariate homogeneity of covariance test was Box’s M. Levene’s test for homogeneity of variances was used. Cronbach’s alpha was conducted for reliability of the instrument’s dimensions. The findings of this study revealed the lack of parent involvement is not due to military rank or the grade level of the child.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines school level differences on different dimensions of teacher-rated parent involvement and school climate while adjusting for age, gender, ethnicity, how certified, and number of years teaching. Two hundred twenty-four elementary teachers from existing data and 178 teachers at the middle school level provided information on their perceptions of parent involvement and school climate. Elementary school teachers were recruited from districts located in Texas and California. Middle school teachers were recruited from suburban school districts located in Southeast and Southwest Texas. Teachers rated questions on the parent involvement and school climate surveys as either: strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree. The nine research hypotheses generated for this study were partially supported by the data. As predicted, there was a difference between elementary and middle schools on how they perceive school climate. The data also supported the hypothesis that both Title I and non-Title I middle schools would find parent centers important for getting parents involved. Experience and school level also predicted how teachers perceived school climate. However, contrary to prediction, there were no significant differences between elementary and middle school teachers on how they perceived parent involvement. There also were no significant differences between elementary and middle school on the parent involvement scale when age, ethnicity, gender, school level, experience, and how certified were used as moderating variables. The same can be said for school climate when age, gender, ethnicity, and how certified were used as moderating variables. Several questions were analyzed separately between Title I and non-Title I middle schools and there were no differences for Title I status. Overall, current results indicated similarities between elementary and middle teachers. Similarities also existed between Title I and non-Title I middle school teachers. Explanations, implications for practice, and future research are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School, Family, and Community Partnerships: Preparing Educators and Improving Schools addresses a fundamental question in education today: How will colleges and universities prepare future teachers, administrators, counselors, and other education professionals to conduct effective programs of family and community involvement that contribute to students' success in school? The work of Joyce L. Epstein has advanced theories, research, policies, and practices of family and community involvement in elementary, middle, and high schools, districts, and states nationwide. In this second edition, she shows that there are new and better ways to organize programs of family and community involvement as essential components of district leadership and school improvement. THE SECOND EDITION OFFERS EDUCATORS AND RESEARCHERS: A framework for helping rising educators to develop comprehensive, goal-linked programs of school, family, andcommunity partnerships. A clear discussion of the theory of overlapping spheres of influence, which asserts that schools, families, and communitiesshare responsibility for student success in school. A historic overview and exploration of research on the nature and effects of parent involvement. Methods for applying the theory, framework, and research on partnerships in college course assignments, classdiscussions, projects and activities, and fi eld experiences. Examples that show how research-based approaches improve policies on partnerships, district leadership, andschool programs of family and community involvement. Definitive and engaging, School, Family, and Community Partnerships can be used as a main or supplementary text in courses on foundations of education methods of teaching, educational administration, family and community relations, contemporary issues in education, sociology of education, sociology of the family, school psychology, social work, education policy, and other courses that prepare professionals to work in schools and with families and students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School and family environments have the most influence on the development of elementary- aged children. Parent involvement in both the school and home setting has multiple benefits for the child. More efforts are needed for schools and families in low socioeconomic areas to work collaboratively. Ethnic, cultural, and language differences, socioeconomic barriers, parent efficacy, and the role of schools can prevent families from becoming involved in the school setting. The purpose of this project was to provide educators with essential information regarding the benefits of parent involvement and recommend activities and opportunities to increase parent involvement by overcoming perceived barriers. A single elementary school was selected as a case study in the Sacramento City Unified School District. Teachers provided feedback on the feasibility of the activities as well as their current practices to recruit parents. The training post assessment showed that teachers gained knowledge and were open to providing opportunities for parental involvement, but few parents consistently volunteered at their school.

This book was released on 2017 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past several decades, issues including standardized student testing, teacher certifications, charter schools, and the inequality of funding sources within the traditional public education system have vexed education policy-makers. But in a potentially constructive development, researchers have found that parental involvement is linked to positive attitudes toward education, behavioral performance, and better academic achievement to support the success of a child’s learning in the classroom. Although the research on parental involvement is abundant in the literature, there may be too little attention paid to the perception of teachers toward parental involvement. The purpose of this quantitative study is to analyze the perceptions of teachers based on parental involvement activities guided by Epstein’s Six Typologies of Parental Involvement: (a) teacher perceptions of parents and barriers to parental involvement, (b) communication, (c) teacher expectations for parental involvement programs; (d) building parent/teacher partnerships; and (e) resolutions and resources to improve parental involvement in schools. A 20 item close-ended questionnaire revealed how teachers' perceptions influence parental involvement in middle and high schools. The results of the study add to the validity of Epstein’s’ Six Typologies of parental involvement indicating that parental involvement initiatives and programs need to be more purposeful when it comes to communication and parent/teacher partnerships. By creating awareness in schools and school programs, parents and teachers can further build upon strong relationships that lead to a declared cohesive partnership to further increase student participation at home and in school; ultimately enhancing parental involvement as a significant component in a child’s education.

Download or read book The Effects of the Family Context and Parent Involvement on Perceptions of Children s School Achievement written by Aphra R. Katzev and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study examined dimensions of the family context associated with variations in parent involvement and parent perceptions of children's school achievement using data from 1,085 male and 2,239 female respondents with a child between the ages of 5 and 18 years collected in the 1987-88 National Survey of Families and Households. Small but significant differences in parent perceptions of school achievement were found in favor of children being raised in a first-married two-parent home. Negative effects on school outcomes were centered on children who experienced family disruption. Living in a one-parent household with a parent who was previous married was associated with parent reports of poorer performance for elementary school children and lower grades for adolescents. Neither living in a one-parent household with a continuously single parent nor living in a stepfamily was significantly related to achievement. Parent employment status was not directly related to children's achievement but did have indirect effects through parent involvement both at home and school. Parent involvement at school and in child-centered home activities was associated with perceptions of improved school performance for elementary school children and higher grades for adolescents. Mothers were more likely to be involved in children's schooling than fathers. Single and cohabiting mothers were less involved at school than first-married mothers, but single fathers tended to be more likely to participate than their first-married counterparts. There were no significant differences between the home involvement of single mothers and their first-married counterparts but single fathers were more involved at home than first-married fathers. For both mothers and fathers, receiving tangible aid from a wide network of relatives and friends was associated with higher levels of school and home involvement. Findings suggest that educators who have negative beliefs about single parents' engagement in school-family partnerships may be influenced by these parents' low presence at school. Recognizing that single parents are as involved with their children at home as parents in traditional families can lead to educational practices that support home involvement and result in positive effects on children's academic progress.
