| Parent Involvement |
At Home- This is different for every student, but almost all
students want their parents to notice when they are doing well
and when they are improvement. High, but not impossible
expectations communicate that what they do at school really
matters. Reading to them or reading time with them, taking time to help them with
their studies (but not doing it for them), and even spending time
with them in the same room while they are studying communicate
caring.
Volunteering- Studies have shown that achievement is better
when parents take an active role in the schools. This is
often much easier to do at the elementary level, but has worked
in middle schools and high schools.
