    FAMILY INVOLVEMENT

    INTRODUCTION

    Family involvement serves to promote and support the social, emotional,


    physical, academic, and educational growth of children. Successful family
    involvement relies on meaningful collaboration among youth, families, schools,
    employers, and agencies.

    Family involvement (we use the terms family involvement and parent
    involvement interchangeably) is important for encouraging children in their
    development of academic and social-emotional competences in early and later
    childhood (Clarkin-Phillips & Carr, 2012; Fan & Chen, 2001; Izzo, Weissberg,
    Kasprow, & Fendrich, 1999; Keith, Keith, Quirk, Cohen-Rosenthal, & Franzese,
    1996; Kluczniok, Lehrl, Kuger, & Roßbach, 2013).

    A family’s involvement in their child’s education is recognized by many as the


    single most important factor in school success and achievement. Research has
    shown that not only does family involvement increase academic achievement,
    as reflected in higher test scores and graduation rates, but it also increases the
    likelihood that youth will pursue higher education (Henderson & Berla, 1994).

    Family involvement matters for young children’s cognitive and social


    development. But what do effective involvement processes look like, and how
    do they occur?
