Other Resources Getting involved in your child's education Parents, Teachers Differ on School Involvement: A survey of Michigan parents and teachers NEA Resources understanding testing reading ... Other Resources What is parental involvement, exactly? Parental involvement in your child's education can mean: Reading to your child Checking homework every night Discussing your children's progress with teachers Voting in school board elections Helping your school to set challenging academic standards Limiting TV viewing on school nights Becoming an advocate for better education in your community and state. Or, it can be as simple as asking your children, "How was school today?" But ask every day. That will send your children the clear message that their schoolwork is important to you and you expect them to learn. Why is parental involvement important? Here are just some of the reasons it is important for parents to be actively involved in their child's education: The family makes critical contributions to student achievement from pre-school through high school. A home environment that encourages learning is more important to student achievement than income, education level or cultural background. (Henderson and Berla)
