RED RAIDER PARENT
1. All parents have hopes and goals for their children
2. Parents differ in their abilities and/or resources to help
their children reach those goals
3. The parent is the central contributor to a child’s educa-
tion
4. Parent involvement must be seen as a legitimate ele-
ment of education and deserves equal emphasis with
elements such as school improvement and evaluation.
5. Parent involvement is an ongoing process, not a series
of events.
6. Parent involvement requires a shared vision, policy,
and framework for planning programs and practices
that are connected to student learning.
7. Many barriers to parent involvement are found within
school practices, attitudes, and assumptions.
8. Successful parent involvement programs help families
guide their children’s learning from preschool through
high school.
9. Families from diverse backgrounds have their own set
of norms and experiences that often influence their re-
lationship with schools
10.Parents become involved when: they understand they
should be involved, feel capable and feel invited
