Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vision for parent involvement presented in this document supports the California State Board of Education's policy initiative on parent involvement. Adopted in January 1989, the initiative includes a policy that encourages school districts and schools to implement long-term, comprehensive programs that build on the strengths of families. The following six types of parent involvement are identified: (1) help parents develop parenting skills; (2) provide parents with knowledge of home-learning techniques; (3) provide access to and coordinate community and support services for children and families; (4) promote clear school/family communication; (5) involve parents in instructional and support roles; and (6) support parents as decision-makers and leaders. Following the mission statement, individual sections discuss each of the home-learning goals of parent involvement programs, present supporting research findings, examine state and local implementation strategies, and list outcomes expected by the year 2000. The program goals include the following: public awareness and support; policy development and program planning; implementation; teacher and administrator training; parent and community training; teacher incentives; early interventions; and accessing resources. Appendices contain a checklist for quality criteria, information on Chapter 16 programs to encourage parent participation, and a list of publications available from the California Department of Education. (Contains 34 references.) (LMI)

Download or read book Parental Engagement and Early Childhood Education Around the World written by Susanne Garvis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-12-23 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the importance of parental engagement in early childhood education, this book delves into research and practices in 25 countries to bring students, researchers, teachers and policy-makers insights into working families around the world. The incorporation and consideration of parental engagement and involvement in early childhood education are a new phenomenon to many countries. Yet, increasing research recognises the importance of parental engagement and involvement in early childhood education services, and the role both parents and teachers play to support children’s learning and development. Using a range of materials from curriculum to policy documents, Garvis et al. demonstrate differences in practices and terminologies pertaining to the topic and provide an international perspective on the importance of parental involvement and engagement in early childhood education services. The content covers a range of countries as well as countries beyond an ‘Anglo-Saxon’ perspective. The different policy settings across these countries highlight how countries work with, and involve, parents differently, which is useful for jurisdictions where early childhood education is a developing aspect of a country’s education system. Looking at cultural influences, partnership approaches, parental collaboration, institutional dominance and child involvement in parent meetings, the content offers readers real understanding of parental engagement and involvement in different settings. The readership includes students in early childhood education, and researchers, teachers, policy makers, and general members of the public interested in parental engagement or involvement in early childhood education across the globe.
