Produktbeschreibung
Parent/guardian involvment, a historically important
component in schooling, has gone through changes
over the centuries. Now, and over the last several
decades, the value of parents in their chidren's
school experience is becoming more important for
their (student) achievement in a time of
accountability in a standards-based educational
system. Research has shown a direct link between
parent participation in schools (which can look very
different from school to school) and student
achievement. Unfortunately, time and knowledge are
two factors that principals/school administrators do
not always have due to their focus on academic
accountability and other issues impacting schools
today. This book describes a study that tells the
story about the perceptions and actions principals
and parents are taking at some sample schools. It
also give suggestions for principals and parents to
consider to overcome barriers and to strengthen the
involvment and shared decision-making practices of
parents in schools.
