  5. Mission: Premier DeKalb’s Framework for Parental Involvement • The Mission of the DeKalb County School System is to form a collaborative effort between home and school that maximizes students’ social and academic potential preparing them to compete in a global society. • This Mission establishes the Framework and collective responsibilities from the District, School, Student and Parent to build those collaborations that will not only enhance school culture, but ultimately impact student achievement.

  6. Goal: Premier DeKalb Framework for Parental Involvement To form a collaborative effort between home, school and the community that maximizes students’ social and academic potential.

  7. Essential Question? How do skillful administrators use a variety of research-based strategies to develop school-based parental involvement plans that will: A) increase student achievement B) obtain fully operational level on the Student, Family, Community Involvement and Support Standards of the Georgia Keys to Quality

  8. Six Types of Parental InvolvementResearch by Joyce L. Epstein, Ph.D. Dr. Epstein’s research highlights six types of Parental Involvement and they are as follows: 1). Parenting…Providing for the health and safety and encouraging learning and good behavior in school 2). Communicating…Schools reaching out to parents with information about all that is happening 3).Volunteering…Parents having significant involvement with school functions and the environment and the school being flexible to make this happen 4).Learning at home…Assisting children with homework and other activities with the guidance and support of the school 5). Decision-making…Parents, with the school’s encouragement, taking part in decision-making 6). Collaboration with the community…Schools can help families and community groups collaborate in student achievement

  14. Implementation Resource Guide

  15. Phase I-Parental Involvement Framework (PIF) Rollout – January 2009 • Develop Framework with Parental Involvement Task Force. • Guide administrators through the process of data collection to establish initial metrics for the PIF using a self-assessment process based upon the GA Keys to Quality rubric, Implementation Resource Guide and CSIP.

  16. Phase II- PIF-Framework RolloutFebruary – March 2009 • At the end of February through the beginning of March 2009, the Parental Involvement Task Force members from OSI and PL will visit and review Site-Based Parental Involvement Plans for all schools. This will be approximately 100 schools for OSI and 50 schools for PL. • These visits will only need to last an hour or less. We will ask Principals for specific artifacts (examples will be embedded in the Framework such as newsletters, sign-in sheets, flyers for events, etc.) that support the 3 Standards also embedded in the Parental Involvement Framework.

  17. Phase III - Summer of 2009 • Train Administrative teams on the board approved Parental Involvement Framework
