Parent Involvement

Parent Involvement in education means that principals and teachers invite all parents and families to become involved in schools to help their children reach success. Strong partnerships connect schools and families in ways that support children’s success in school and in their future.

Program Overview

The Title I Parent Involvement program for parents is meant to:

  • Offer parents training on ways to work with their children at home to improve student success in school.
  • Offer reading skills and literacy training.
  • Promote active input in their children's schools and education.
  • Explain Title I rules to parents.
  • Involve parents in making local Title I decisions.

Parent Involvement Research:

When families work with schools to support learning, children tend to succeed in school and in life. It doesn’t matter how much money the parents make, if they can:

  • Offer a home that supports learning;
  • share high, yet realistic, plans and expectations for their children's learning and careers; and
  • be involved in their children's education at school and in the community.”

All families can have a positive influence on their children’s learning.
