Parental Involvement in Raising the Achievement of Primary School Pupils: Why Bother?
Edwards, Anne; Warin, Jo
Oxford Review of Education, v25 n3 p325-41 Sep 1999
Presents a study that draws data from a five-year project that used parent involvement to raise pupil achievement in literacy and numeracy. Focuses on the schools' rationales for why they invested in parental involvement. Relates the data to sociological understandings of how teachers support children's learning and teachers' conceptions of self-esteem. (CMK)
