My vision is to increase parental involvement at our campus through student-led curriculum meetings and student-led conferences.
Parents usually find ways to participate in school events and activities if they know that their children will be involved in the presentation. Increasing our parental involvement rate will undoubtedly increase our student achievement. According to week 1 lecture by Dr. Robert Nicks, involvement is linked to: “better attendance, increased graduation rates, decreased grade retention, higher school-related satisfaction, decreased discipline problems, increased motivation and self-esteem, and improved academic scores” (Nicks, 2012, slide 6). I feel that this strategy is a meaningful way for parents to engage in the school setting. Students will actively participate to demonstrate to their parents their academic accomplishments in student-led conferences and teach parents ways they can help them at home in student-led curriculum meetings.
