Why Parent Engagement is Important to Student Success

# data[].attributes.body
Students with parents who are involved in their school have fewer behavioral problems and better academic performance, and are more likely to complete high school than students whose parents are not involved in their school.

Students with involved parents, no matter what their income or background, are more likely to earn higher grades and test scores, enroll in higher-level programs, be promoted, pass their classes, earn credits, attend school regularly, have better social skills, show improved behavior, and graduate and go on to postsecondary education

I think that s a parent, you need to help your children with their studies. If they have homework, you need to help them. Helping should not make you do all the work. All you just need to do is support your children or give them ideas about their homework. Your children will definitely lose interest in studying or going to school if they don’t have someone to help them. If your children have an upcoming exam, you can help them by doing question and answer. Let your children study their lessons then ask some questions about what they’ve studied. You can also tell if your children are improving or learning something when you do that. Another way to motivate your children to study is to give them a peaceful place. Your children won’t be able to study properly is their surrounding is noisy.

THE MODALITIES The documentation must be clear, correct, concise and timely Documentation is useful if it is accessible, simple and effective Appoint for each meeting a secretary who speaks In each project, commit to gathering the material and documenting the activities Sort and catalog the work done and summarize the experiences Make the documentation available right away Involve the school structure as a guarantor of continuity Representatives should always send the class council's minutes to the families For each activity set a precise review time in which to produce results even if partial Distribute to your parents a survey questionnaire at the beginning, mid and late school year

In my opinion the active involvement of parents in life schooling is only half and not end. The ultimate purpose of our commitment can only be to build an "educational community". It is in the education of new generations to conscious citizenship that the future is played.

Parent communication models
•
Challenging: symmetrical relationship, not recognition of the
authoritative role of the teacher. It just points out what
it does not work (strategies: emphasize the resources of
children).
•
Submitted: highly appreciated by teachers ... passivity
delegate to the teacher. Risk of not Growing
parents themselves.
•
Absent: parents difficult to define for their absence.
Insist and never give up on the part of the teachers.
•
Parenting: Parent who collaborates and participates. There
school is considered a place of growth for your child.

Number of students: 40

Description: In my class last summer, parents offered to rebuild the walls in the classroom, to make small repairs: broken door, computer cabinet, bookcases, and so on. It was a tiring moment and of great sharing. Parents have realized how many things they need to get their kids out of school. The best school outcomes about interest, participation, non-abandonment are obtained where there is a synergistic school-school relationship, the school is required to plan targeted interventions on parents.

Aims

Address problems together even if they do not involve us personally Participate in issues of the whole class and not just of your own child Forming Tomorrow's Citizens, Informed, Conscious and Respected. Consolidate the relationship between parents and school
