Parent Involvement What the research says:

1.Parent involvement can have an impact on student learning throughout all grades. 2. “Meaningful parental involvement” is a term that requires dialogue among teachers and parents. 3. Culture, socioeconomic background, and family characteristics influence the degree of parental involvement, and ultimately the impact it has on student achievement.

4. Parental involvement at home seems to have a more significant impact on children than parental involvement in school activities. 5. Helping with homework is a common strategy schools employ to engage parents. Schools must be cognizant of parents’ need for guidance and assistance in order to be effectively involved in this regard.

6. Principles of mutual respect and trust are foundational to establishing effective partnership programs. 7. Professional development for teachers about promoting effective parental involvement in children’s education is not only helpful, but necessary. It cannot be assumed that teachers are comfortable working with parents, know how to promote effective parental involvement, and possess the skills to interact with parents in ways that are mutually beneficial.

Parent Advisory Councils (PAC)

School PACs

District PACs (DPAC)

Provincial PACs (BCCPAC)

School Planning Councils (SPCs)

Teachers & Parents

It’s all about Communication!

Suggestions for Teachers 1.Help parents understand why they are so important to their children’s school success. 2. Give parents specific things they can do to be involved. 3. Take time to assess current practices in your school before starting a program for parental involvement.

4. Develop a long term plan that includes evaluation of your success. 5. Look at parental involvement as having results for students, for parents and for teachers. 6. Each school year, provide parents with the opportunity to learn how to support, encourage and help their student at home.

7. 7. Be respectful of family time and the diversity of families. 8. Development of an effective partnership with parents is an incremental process not an event.
