¶ … impacting family literacy fluency (race, class, etc.) How can the relationships between parents, teachers, and schools support literacy understanding and growth? How do family interactions
One thing that is omnipresent and pervasive in situations where one or minorities are present is the idea of feeling like one is excluded. The level of severity of this happenstance can vary quite a bit. However, it is very real when it happens. In many cases, race, class and even language can become something that is polarizing and problematic. Despite these challenges, the rules that hold true for children within the dominant culture hold just as true for those in a minority (or more than one). This is even truer, however, when it comes to children that are vulnerable to poverty, deviancy and so forth. Indeed, parental involvement in a child's learning is important irrespective of the race, language or class of the child. However, this involvement is all the more imperative and vital when it comes to parents of children that...
In many cases, they are facing more than one of those challenges. When these relationships are strong and fertile, the results tend to be much better for the children involved (NEA, 2016).
Part 2
Look at the data from your school's state report card. What does it tell you about your students and families? What is the percentage of ELL's in relationship to low income? Do you see a correlation? What do you need to do, instructionally, to support literacy development in your community?
There is an obvious and strong correlation between those that are in ELL status (or parents of the same) and things like poverty and minority status. In other words, they all seem to intersect quite heavily and this is surely no accident. One way to bridge the gap and beat back the negative effects is to make lessons and teaching relatable to the minority students. Using icons and teachings that ELL students are more comfortable with will help them engage more than they normally would given the challenges and issues that exist (Mcgee, 2016).
Part 3
Write a short reflective paragraph about the viewing of "Chimamand Adichie: The danger of a Single Story." What message did you take away? What have you learned?
The obvious lesson from the words of Adichie is that while gaining perspective from foreign cultures and countries is important, doing so on…

Overall parental involvement has an effect on the child from the early stage to the secondary stage. Students need the parents for guidance, integrity and confidence to become successful in life because it is not the teachers job to make sure the students have these qualities. "In reality, parent involvement is a more diverse and complex concept than is generally acknowledged" (Dom & Verhoeven, 2006, p.570). The study will help
This research examines the success or failure of an initiative to help improve positive parental participation in their child's academic and behavioral outcomes. Discussion A number of initiatives were discovered during the literature review. However, the ones found used a passive approach to parental participation. They did not utilize education of the parents, but relied on conditions and resources within the school setting. This study differs in that it requires an

RMLE Online 33(4). In "Adolescents' Psychological Well-Being and Perceived Parental Involvement: Implications for Parental Involvement in Middle Schools," Cripps & Zyromski (2009) perform an analysis of prior literature on appropriate styles and levels of parental involvement with their middle school-aged children. The review of literature has methodological limitations in that
Parental Involvement With Educating Children It takes a village to raise your children, is not only a saying it is a fact. Teachers need the support of the parents and others involved with the child to reinforce what is being taught in the schools. As parents or guardian of children we should take an active role in the education process of our children. We can do so by ensuring their assignments
Parental Involvement in Schools Research Plan for Quantitative Study: The basis of this study is to gain a better understanding of why children do better academically if their parents take an interest in their school and participate in school activities (such as meetings, events, committees, etc.). Throughout the course of the study, we hope to determine why parents who come from a higher educational background and income might participate more readily in
Studies also confirm that parental involvement may benefit not only students but also parents and communities. Parents who are more involved in their children's academic life are more likely to report positive perceptions of school and their children's achievements and more likely to participate in community events and activities. More and more researchers are adapting their views and emphasizing the need for increasing parental involvement at all levels of education.
