    Parent Resources

    Research overwhelmingly demonstrates that parent involvement in children's learning is positively related to achievement. Further, research also shows that the more intensively parents are involved in their children's learning, the more beneficial are the achievement effects. This research holds true for all types of parent involvement in children's learning and for all types and ages of students.
