Abstract

The main purpose of this article is to have parents actively engaged in their children's educational development. Studies have shown that when parents are involved, student achievement improves (Clark, 1983;Comer, 1980; Dornbusch, 1986; Henderson, 1981). However, the way parents have been involved has changed and is continuing to change over time (Connors & Epstein, 1995).
