FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Mothers and fathers hold bake sales, supervise field trips, and serve on boards or advisory councils for schools. They attend school concerts, plays, and sporting events. As helpful as these customary forms of parent involvement are, they are far removed from what happens in the classroom. A growing body of research suggests that parents can play a larger role in their children's education. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF PARENT INVOLVEMENT? There are many advantages when parents play an active role in the educational process. Children spend much more time at home than at school. Their parents know them intimately, interact with them one-to-one, and do not expect to be paid to help their children succeed. The home environment, more familiar and less structured than the classroom, offers what Dorothy Rich (1985) calls "'teachable moments' that teachers can only dream about." Children whose parents are involved in their formal education have many advantages. They have better grades, test scores, long-term academic achievement, attitudes, and behavior than those with disinterested mothers and fathers (Anne T. Henderson 1988).

Public Education Adult Education: Literacy and Self-Advocacy Skills New Hampshire: Since 1998, The Right Question Project has worked with the New Hampshire Bureau of Adult Education to integrate our educational strategy into their Adult Literacy programs. More than 60 educators are using the RQP method to help their students build skills to advocate for themselves and navigate systems. An adult educator shared this story about the impact of RQP on one of her students: One of my adult learners (with a fourth grade literacy level) prepared for her meeting at the Employment Office by formulating her own questions, writing them down on cards and then laid the cards down on her kitchen table and prioritized them. Think of what she was doing! She was writing. She was formulating questions. She was organizing written work. She was thinking strategically. All that from being inspired by the Question Formulation Technique. Nashua, NH: The Nashua Adult Learning Center (ALC) has been particularly successful in using RQP in their Family Empowerment Project. The ALC has shared our method for teaching advocacy skills with staff members, who have then shared it with colleagues and participating families. Many of the families are now interacting more effectively with the programs and services that directly affect them. For example: Family Empowerment Project participants had questions about how the Division for Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) was conducting their assessments and asked the local DCYF supervisor to meet with them to answer their questions.
