The volume begins with Marie Gould’s overview of parental involvement with the school system and the number of factors that can increase or decrease parents’ association with school programs and their children’s learning experience. Beyond merely providing homework assistance to their child, a parent can also volunteer in schools to have a positive impact on their child’s education and be a valuable and significant presence within the community. Noelle Vance discusses Joyce Epstein’s School-Family-Community Partnership Model and details six types of educational involvement including parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision making, and collaborating with the community. Family involvement is often of utmost importance for special needs students with unique education classes and special courses. Sharon Link formulates her essay to promote advocacy and understanding for parental involvement and to communicate the appropriate guidelines for familial inclusion. For parents who are dissatisfied with public school curricula and methodologies or who want to take on more responsibility for their child’s education, home schooling is a viable option that can often result in positive academic performance.
