Compiled together from multiple studies, underneath are
examples of why parental involvement is important and how it can be
accomplished.
1) Why is it important for children?
According to studies:
- children achieve more, regardless of ethnic or racial background,
socioeconomic status, or parents’ education level
- children achieve better grades, test scores, and attendance
- children have better self-esteem, are more self-disciplined, and show higher
motivation toward school.
So,
what do you do to achieve this for your child?
You don’t need the best educational toy but you do need to spend time with your
child working on educational activities. Something as simple as, singing a song
about what you are doing while giving a bath to your child is an example of
spending educational time with your child.
2) Why is it important for parents?
According to studies:
- you become more confident in your parenting/decision-making skills
- you gain more knowledge of your child’s development, which provides an
increased use of positive reinforcement and less use of punishment on your
child
- you have a better understanding of the teacher’s job, the school’s
curriculum, and their effectiveness
So,
what do you do to achieve this for yourself?
You don’t need to spend a ton of money on the newest toys and apps, but do
invest in resources that give you examples of the educational activities that
build this relationship and foundation. Something as simple as a picture book
or a text message can go a long way in guiding you.
3) Why is it important for schools and teachers?
According to studies:
- schools experience better community support as they usually do better and
have higher quality programs than programs that do not have involved parents
- teachers and principals often earn greater respect for their profession from
the parents,
- school personnel and the parents both attain higher satisfaction and trust
each other more
So,
what do you do as a school/teacher to achieve this?
- invest in providing parents the opportunities/resources for parental
involvement
-
incentivize parents to spend the necessary educational time with their
children. There are many platforms that can accomplish this deed for schools,
so partnering up with one program would be the easiest way to go.
#1, Help focus on creating a relationship with the child- meaning involving yourself in the child every day school life helps you create an Unbreaking bond with the child so the child can evolve in their learning process in and outside the classroom.
ReplyDelete* Performs better- parental involvement have a numerous amount of benefits better performance is most definitely one of them. When the child knows that his / her parents are involved in their developmental skills of learning they tend to work more formally and adequately.
* Higherror motivation- when did child's parent shows an interest in the child development,the child's motivation gets a little if not a skyrocketed amount of boost. This helps the child in wanting to do their work and completing their work in time if there is a time frame.
* Understanding of the teacher's job- Some parents have little or no understanding of what the teachers do or the effectiveness of his / her work. Parents should first-hand understand the teachers job this is important because they get the chance to recognize the work or Effectiveness of their teaching being done.

ReplyDelete* Better community support- this is when parents in and around the community gets involved with the school's programs or activities for support this would allow the school and teacher's to trust the parent and hopefully for future purposes keep them more involved. And a build a professional bond between teacher, principal, child and parent.
