RED RAIDER PARENT

1. All parents have hopes and goals for their children

2. Parents differ in their abilities and/or resources to help

their children reach those goals

3. The parent is the central contributor to a child’s educa-

tion

4. Parent involvement must be seen as a legitimate ele-

ment of education and deserves equal emphasis with

elements such as school improvement and evaluation.

5. Parent involvement is an ongoing process, not a series

of events.

6. Parent involvement requires a shared vision, policy,

and framework for planning programs and practices

that are connected to student learning.

7. Many barriers to parent involvement are found within

school practices, attitudes, and assumptions.

8. Successful parent involvement programs help families

guide their children’s learning from preschool through

high school.

9. Families from diverse backgrounds have their own set

of norms and experiences that often influence their re-

lationship with schools

10.Parents become involved when: they understand they

should be involved, feel capable and feel invited
