Academic Parent Teacher Teams (APTT): How Did the New Parent-Involvement Model Impact Student Achievement in HISD? Evaluation Report. Volume 9, Issue 2
Foster, Aysha L.
Houston Independent School District
During the 2014-2015 school year, the Houston Independent School District (HISD) Family and Community Engagement (FACE) Department implemented a parent engagement program in 24 elementary schools. Most schools began implementation of the program in grades 3 through 5, although some chose to include PK through 5. Grades 3 through 5 students were used for the sample in this report. Over the course of the program, 3,800 students in grades 3 through 5 had a parent/guardian participate in an APTT meeting(s). School data were collected throughout the course of the program to provide a snapshot of parent participation and student achievement. Available data include parent participation rates, demographic data, and the 2015 STAAR reading results. The Level II Satisfactory, phase-in 1 standard STAAR results suggest that APTT schools had fewer students on average who met the reading satisfactory standard than the district; nonetheless, students whose parents participated in APTT performed better compared to students in the same school whose parents did not attend meetings. Other findings suggest that there is a relationship between the number of APTT meetings parents attended and their child's performance on the STAAR reading assessment.
