Epstein's Framework of Six Types of Involvement

Epstein's Framework identifies six ways parents can be involved in their children’s education: 1. **Parenting** – supporting children’s health and well-being at home. 2. **Communicating** – maintaining open, respectful dialogue with teachers. 3. **Volunteering** – participating in school activities or events. 4. **Learning at Home** – helping with homework and fostering learning routines. 5. **Decision-Making** – being involved in school policies and planning. 6. **Collaborating with Community** – connecting schools with local resources and organizations. Together, these types promote a comprehensive approach to supporting student success.
