Experts Weigh In On Parental Engagement/Involvement

"The most valuable way you can become involved in your child’s education is to provide a rich learning environment in your home to support your child’s academic achievement". (Joyce Pollard, Director,Institutional Communications jpollard@sedl.org

"When parents are involved in children’s schools and education, children have higher grades and standardized test scores, improved behavior at home and school, and better social skills and adaptation to school". (Kimberly L. Keith for About.com)

"When schools, families, and community groups work together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer, and like school more."
(Report from the Southwest Educational Development Laboratory)
