Description

Learning may be defined as an interchange of ideas and experiences that are to be shared and to be the sources of some reflection. This sharing helps us validate the language, cultural differences, learning styles, and behavioral expectations and values of the family and community. (McCaleb, 1997, p. 25) Children and adolescents are more apt to succeed in school when parents use positive strategies to support their learning and communicate with school personnel (Henderson & Berla, 1994). Unfortunately, it appears that parent involvement declines steadily from the early years to the degree that it is almost completely absent by the middle grades. This decline is unfortunate, as research demonstrates that parental engagement enhances a school's academic environment (Carnegie Council on Adolescent Development, 1996). Such a discrepancy between recommendation and practice warrants investigation.
