Parent Engagement in Student Achievement and How Schools Can Help
Learning that happens at home improves student achievement. New research suggests how schools can help parents promote learning.
In an article recently published in
School Psychology International, John Mark Froiland of Purdue University explores parent involvement in student PK-12 achievement. He proposes a framework for schools to support parents to engage in practices that work.
Froiland describes empirically supported (as well as ill-advised) parental strategies linked to academic outcomes. He details the psychological elements underlying these strategies, including Beliefs, Expectations, Autonomy Support, and Relationships (BEAR) that parents can implement. He then explicitly addresses what schools can do to connect to parents more effectively.
