Description

The article applies the Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler account in which involvement is motivated by "how parents construct their role for parent involvement" and by parents' beliefs in their own effectiveness, supplemented by invitations from school, teachers, and child, and by perceived life context. It adds Mapp's finding that parents' perception that staff are caring and trustworthy is crucial, and uses these constructs to design and interpret the outreach intervention.

Design Implications

Context

Requirements

  • Interventions can work by shaping parental beliefs, since the model holds both belief systems are socially constructed and open to influence

Constraints

  • The model was developed from studies of parents already identified as involved, which its authors state limits generalizability

Target Learners

  • Parents of 8th grade students in a low-income, high-minority district

Learning Goals

  • Increasing at-home and at-school parent involvement to support student achievement
