| | The Impact of Parent/Family Involvement on Student Outcomes: An Annotated Bibliography of Research from the Past Decade |
 | | Parent/family involvement has a significant positive impact on student outcomes throughout the elementary, middle school, and secondary years. |
 | | The ways in which parents/families can be involved in their children’s education have broadened considerably over the past three decades beyond the traditional “big three”- volunteer, homework helper, and fund-raiser (Christenson and Sheridan, 2001). |
 | | Several studies have documented the significant impact of parent/family involvement on student achievement in literacy (Faires, Nichols, and Rickeman, 2000; Hara and Burke, 1998; Quigley, 2000; West, 2000) and mathematics (Balli, Demo, and Wedman, 1998; Epstein, 2001; Galloway and Sheridan, 1994). |
