Description:
LAUP's Parent Engagement programs deliver high-quality support to parents and families, with the goal of empowering parents to increase involvement with their children's education. This evaluation examined the outcomes of the multiple Parent Engagement programs at LAUP. Analyses discovered that a number of benefits resulted from parents' school-based engagement and volunteering. These benefits included the following: Parents felt informed of their rights and empowered by the Parent Ambassador Program. Parents reported a solid home-school connection and greater at-home learning for children. Parents felt encouraged by their LAUP provider to participate in activities, become part of the learning process, and take an active role in their child's education. The impact of the Parent Engagement programs was widespread and positive. This brief presents findings of the program evaluation, as well as several recommendations for future practice.
