Staff Development in Parent Involvement

       Parent involvement is essential to children's success. When parents show. children that they are interested in their education children tend to have better academic outcomes. Nevertheless, parents are their child's first teacher therefore it is vital to keep them involved in their child's learning.  According to authors, Gan and Bilige parental involvement in education is widely considered a significant factor for children's academic achievement and success in schools (Gan & Bilige, 2029). 

As educators, we must engage families in their child's learning. Other than children's parents and guardians it is teachers who spend a great deal with children.  Knowing this it is imperative to keep children and their learning connected to their home environment. This can be done in a variety of ways. 

1. Educators can create home-school work that connects children's home life with their school life.

2. Make contact with the parents daily or at least three times a week.

3. Educators can send letters and achievements h so that parents can relate to children that they are in tune with their progress.

4. Plan parent's night to keep parents informed and engaged in their children's learning.
