As a parent, I can understand the importance of parent engagement on student achievement. I find that by volunteering at my children's school, meeting with their teachers, and asking them about their school day I am better able to support their learning. Also, showing an interest in their education motivates them to impress me with their learning.
However, I am aware that there are barriers to parent engagement such as language, single parenthood, parent educational level, and cultural influences. The following document lays a policy framework for engaging parents in their children's learning. Essentially, it acknowledges the importance of parent voice by providing multiple ways for parents to express their views and receive responses from educators.
