Parental Involvement Role

Parental Involvement Role explores the significant impact of parents on their children's education and academic success. It examines how different forms of parental involvement, like parent-teacher communication and learning at home, shape student performance. The book argues that strategic parental engagement is a key factor in predicting academic success, and that parents can contribute to their children's education in many ways.

The book uses case studies from diverse educational settings to provide concrete examples of successful and unsuccessful parental engagement. For instance, it highlights how parental involvement can influence a child's social-emotional development and attendance. The book emphasizes that there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach, and that cultural capital and sociological factors play a role in shaping the relationship between parental involvement and student outcomes.

The book presents information in three major sections, starting with core concepts and impact analysis, followed by case studies, and then sociological research. It uses an accessible style, avoiding technical jargon, and is intended for a broad audience, including parents, educators, and policymakers.
