What has been shown to increase student achievement in the classroom?

Parental involvement has been shown to significantly enhance student achievement in various ways. When parents engage with their children's education, they foster a supportive home environment that emphasizes the importance of learning and academic success. Active participation in school activities, such as attending parent-teacher conferences and helping with homework, helps to strengthen the student’s motivation and commitment to their studies.

Research indicates that when parents are involved, students tend to have higher grades, better attendance records, and a greater likelihood of pursuing higher education. Additionally, parental support can enhance children's self-esteem and overall well-being, factors that directly contribute to their academic success. This collaborative relationship between home and school creates a robust foundation for students to thrive.

While in-class tutoring, after-school programs, and technology integration all have positive effects on learning, the impact of parental involvement is profound and holistic, linking emotional support with academic performance in a unique way.
