DISCUSSION

WHAT DO YOU DO TO:

IDENTIFY STUDENTS?

PROVIDE SERVICES?

AND WHAT DO YOU NEED HELP WITH?

PARENT INVOLVEMENT POLICIESTITLE I / PART A DISTRICTS AND SCHOOLS

• PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT MEANS THE PARTICIPATION OF PARENTS IN REGULAR, TWO-WAY, MEANINGFUL COMMUNICATION INVOLVING STUDENT ACADEMIC LEARNING AND OTHER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES, AND ENSURES THAT:

• PARENTS PLAY AN INTEGRAL ROLE IN ASSISTING THEIR CHILD’S LEARNING.

• PARENTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO BE ACTIVELY INVOLVED IN THEIR CHILD’S EDUCATION AT SCHOOL.

• PARENTS ARE FULL PARTNERS IN THEIR CHILD’S EDUCATION AND ARE INCLUDED, AS APPROPRIATE, IN DECISION-MAKING AND ON ADVISORY COMMITTEES TO ASSIST IN THE EDUCATION OF THEIR CHILD.

• CARRYING OUT OF ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS THOSE DESCRIBED IN SECTION 1118 OF THE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION ACT (ESEA), WILL PROMOTE COLLABORATION BETWEEN DISTRICT, SCHOOL, AND PARENTS IN HELPING STUDENTS ACHIEVE HIGH ACADEMIC STANDARDS. [SECTION 9101(32), ESEA]

HOW DID THAT WORK FOR YOUR SCHOOL?WHAT WENT REALLY WELL?

A. Convene an annual meeting –

B. Supporting attendance –

C. Offering a flexible number of meetings -

D. Using funds to provide transportation, child care, or home visits, as the services relate to parent involvement -

REQUIRED ACTIVITIES1. Involving parents in an organized, ongoing, and timely way, in the planning,

review, and improvement of Title I, Part A programs, including the planning, review, and improvement of the school parental involvement policy and the joint development of the schoolwide plan –

2. Providing parents of participating children: • A description and explanation of the curriculum in use at the school, the forms of academic

assessment used to measure student progress, and the proficiency levels students are expected to meet.

• If requested by parents, opportunities for regular meetings to formulate suggestions and to participate, as appropriate, in decisions relating to the education of their children, and to respond to any such suggestions as soon as practicably possibly.

3. Each parent will be responsible for supporting their children’s learning; and participating, as appropriate, in decisions relating to the education of their children and positive extracurricular time.

4. The compact will also address the importance of communication between teachers and parents on an on-going basis through, at a minimum:• Parent-teacher conference in elementary schools, at least annually, during which the

compact must be discussed as it relates to the individual child’s achievement.• Frequent reports to parents on their children’s progress.• Reasonable access to staff, opportunities to volunteer and participate in their child’s class,

and observation of classroom activities.

AN OPPORTUNITY: LOOKING FOR A SCHOOL

TO TEST A MIDDLE LEVEL PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE RELATED TO STUDENT AGENCY

WHAT IS STUDENT AGENCY?

STUDENT AGENCY REFERS TO A COMBINATION OF ACADEMIC MINDSETS AND LEARNING STRATEGIES THAT HAVE BEEN DEMONSTRATED TO ADVANCE ACHIEVEMENT.

ACADEMIC MINDSETS ARE EVIDENT IN STUDENTS WHO FEEL:

• A SENSE OF BELONGING IN SCHOOL;

• BELIEVE THEY HAVE THE CAPACITY TO LEARN, AND

• SEE VALUE IN THEIR PARTICIPATION.

STUDENT AGENCY (CON’T.)

LEARNING STRATEGIES INCLUDE:

• STUDY SKILLS,

• THE ABILITY TO ASSESS ONE'S OWN CONTENT MASTERY;

• AND GOAL-SETTING –

COMPETENCIES THAT HELP YOUNG PEOPLE PERSIST WHEN LEARNING GETS TOUGH. (RAIKES FOUNDATION, 2013)
