The Epstein Model of Parental Involvement

The Epstein Model of Parental Involvement is a framework that highlights six key ways parents can support their children's education: communicating with teachers, volunteering at school, learning at home, participating in decision-making, collaborating with the community, and connecting with other families. It emphasizes a partnership approach where active parent engagement, in various forms, helps improve student achievement and well-being. This model encourages schools to foster strong, collaborative relationships with families to create a supportive learning environment for children.
