Evidence-Based Parent Workshops
PARENT INVOLVEMENT IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS:
At Parent Institute for Bilingual Education (PIBE.ORG), we believe in the power of collaboration. That's why our parent education programs are built upon the widely respected framework of Dr. Joyce Epstein, Director of the Center on School, Family, and Community Partnerships at Johns Hopkins University.
Dr. Joyce Epstein's groundbreaking framework provides a comprehensive roadmap for fostering successful partnerships between schools and families.
This six-pronged approach, widely adopted by states and national organizations, outlines key areas for collaboration:
- Parenting: Supporting children's learning and development at home.
- Communication: Building open and regular dialogue between school and home.
- Volunteering: Creating opportunities for parents to contribute to school life.
- Learning at Home: Equipping parents to support academic growth outside the classroom.
- Decision Making: Involving parents in school governance and planning.
- Community Collaboration: Leveraging community resources to enhance student success.
By implementing strategies aligned with these six types of involvement, schools can create a strong foundation for student achievement.
How We Translate This Framework into Action:
PIBE utilizes Dr. Epstein's framework to create customized parent education programs that address all six areas of involvement. Our programs empower parents to actively participate in their child's education, leading to better student outcomes.
The research is undeniable: stronger school-family-community partnerships lead to higher student achievement.
Students with involved parents tend to:
- Earn higher grades
- Attend school more regularly
- Stay in school longer
- Aim for higher education
