Preview Relational Aspects of Parental Involvement to Support Educational Outcomes: Parental Communication, Expectations, and Participation for Student Success
Relational Aspects of Parental Involvement to Support Educational Outcomes Offering contributions from international leaders in the field, this volume builds on empirically informed meta-analyses to foreground relationship- based aspects of parental involvement in children’s education and learning. Chapters explore how factors including parent–child communication, cultural and parental expectations, as well as communication with a child’s teacher and school can impact educational outcomes. By focusing on relationships between parents, teachers, and students, chapter authors offer a nuanced picture of parental involvement in children’s education and learning. Considering variation across countries, educational and non-educational contexts, and challenges posed by parental absence and home schooling, the book offers key insights into how parents, schools, communities, and educators can best support future generations. Using multiple forms of research from the relational perspective, this volume will be of interest to students, scholars, and researchers with an interest in educational psychology as well as child development.

This is an edited collection of contributions from leaders in the field of parental involvement that build on the findings from six meta- analyses previously completed by the editor to foreground the subtle, relationship-based aspects of parental involvement. These components of parental involvement include supportive and informative communica- tion, parental expectations, parental style, reading with one’s children, communication with the teacher and school, and partnership with the teacher. These leaders include individuals that collectively have spoken and advised for U.S. and foreign government leaders dozens of times, have served in government positions, and have highly cited academic articles and books. The chapters include academics who received their education or are affiliated with some of the world’s leading universities or what is often regarded as the leading think tank in the United States (Brookings Institution). They have presented these ideas and data analy- ses at some of the world’s leading universities, e.g., Oxford, Harvard, Columbia, Cambridge, Duke, and Imperial College. This book therefore examines parental involvement at a deeper and broader level than virtually any book of its kind and illustrates what these relationship-based aspects of parental involvement look like in practice. As a whole, the book develops the concepts of parental involvement named above, identified on the basis of meta-analyses. This is in contrast to most of the theories on parental involvement that are dated and based largely on observations (e.g., Epstein & Conners, 1992). The chapters address vital issues in parental participation that are seldom addressed sufficiently in other books on this topic. For example, how does parental involvement factor in when helping children with special needs, examin- ing family engagement within a historical context, and how do expres- sions of parental involvement need to change in the 21st century, Preface ix particularly with the advent of the coronavirus? Other issues considered include what school leaders can do to better involve parents generally and fathers specifically, and whether other institutions can take on parental roles in lieu of mothers and fathers. This book also examines parental involvement practices in North America, Europe, East Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. It is a comprehensive work and I trust you will enjoy reading this book and reap many benefits from its contents.
