Parent+Involvement

** Importance of Parent Involvement **



 * ** Three decades of research have demonstrated that parent/family involvement significantly contributes, in a variety of ways, to improved student outcomes related to learning and school success. These findings have remained fairly consistent despite the fact that families have undergone significant changes duringthat time. Students have changed in the last decade which has affected parent involvement. Although family involvement has reached a "new level of acceptance" today as one of many factors that can help improve the quality of schools, “acceptance does not always translate into implementation, commitment, or creativity.”Schools, communities, and parents/families must cooperate and work collaboratively to improve the learning experience of all children  **.
