What's The Research On...?

Teaching, Learning, and Professional Development

    > Parent Involvement

 Home-school relations are crucibles of culture
Teachers-to-be enter their professional programs with strongly held ideas about home-school relations. Students’ early family experiences shape their notions of good parenting, roles and responsibilities, and their future involvement with families once they enter the teaching profession. Despite the importance and complexity of home-school relations, however, teacher preparation rarely addresses this subject. The gap is puzzling, says UW-Madison education professor Beth Graue.
