Parental Engagement: sustainable school improvement to raise student attainment “The effect of Parental Engagement over a student’s school career is equivalent to adding an extra 2 or 3 years to that student’s education.” Prof. John Hattie, University of Melbourne Research shows that: ● Parental Engagement is one of the most effective strategies school scan adopt to raise student attainment.
● Students whose parents model positive aspirations about education (Parental Engagement) have children who perform better at school than parents with low aspirations. ● There is a strong correlation between the quality of Parental Engagement in a school and the academic success of its students. ● When selecting schools for their children, Parents consider the school’s approach to Parental Engagement to be one of the most important factors.
