STANDING COMMITTEES: PARENT/FAMILY INVOLVEMENT
Parent and Family Involvement and School Quality
  • Schools that work well with families have improved teacher morale and higher ratings of teachers by parents.
  • Schools where parents are involved have more support from families and better reputations in the community.
  • School programs that involve parents outperform identical programs without parent and family involvement.
  • Schools where children are failing improve dramatically when parents are enabled to become effective partners in their child's education.
  • The school's practices to inform and involve parents are stronger determinants of whether inner-city parents will be involved with their children's education than are parent education, family size, marital status, and even student grade level.
  • Board of Education
