Redefining Roles for Secondary Parent
Involvement
FAMILY/COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Appropriate audiences are intermediate, middle, and
high school educators who have responsibility for school
improvement, transition, college and career readiness,
and parent engagement. Participants will review a
meta-analysis done by Nancy Hill, PhD, on 50 research
studies showing what types of parental involvement
work in secondary schools to promote academic
success. Building on that knowledge, they will become
familiar with parenting strategies that are critical success
factors in promoting academic socialization and lifelong
learning. Parallels will be made with the goals for college
and career readiness and the objectives for effective
transitions from upper elementary school through
middle school and high school and on to college and
career.
