If you’re a child, do you want to be treated like this?

1. Make sure you are rested, clean, and well-fed when they go to school.

2. Provide a well-lighted area at home where you

do homework or read and write.

3. Make sure you attend school regularly. Encourage you to do well in school and praise you when you do something good.

Get involved in your education. Read with you. Know what you are learning at school and whether they are able to do your work.

Answer notes, messages, or phone calls from your school.

Attend parent-teacher conferences.

What does the research show about how family involvement in children’s education affects student achievement?

Research shows that parent involvement in their kids' lives and in the schools is often the key to higher achievement and more successful schools and communities.

Studies have found that students with involved parents, no matter what their income or background, are more likely to—

1 Earn high grades and test scores, and enroll in higher-level programs;

2 Pass their classes, earn credits, and be promoted;

3 Attend school regularly; and

4 Graduate and go on to postsecondary education.
