Discussion What do you Do to: Identify students? Provide services? And what do you need help with?
Parent Involvement Policies Title I / Part A Districts and Schools • Parental involvement means the participation of parents in regular, two-way, meaningful communication involving student academic learning and other school activities, and ensures that: • Parents play an integral role in assisting their child’s learning. • Parents are encouraged to be actively involved in their child’s education at school. • Parents are full partners in their child’s education and are included, as appropriate, in decision-making and on advisory committees to assist in the education of their child. • Carrying out of activities, such as those described in Section 1118 of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), will promote collaboration between district, school, and parents in helping students achieve high academic standards. [Section 9101(32), ESEA]
An Opportunity: Looking for a School To test a middle level professional development package related to Student Agency
What is Student Agency? Student Agency refers to a combination of academic mindsets and learning strategies that have been demonstrated to advance achievement. Academic mindsets are evident in students who feel: • a sense of belonging in school; • believe they have the capacity to learn, and • see value in their participation.
Student Agency (con’t.) Learning strategies include: • study skills, • the ability to assess one's own content mastery; • and goal-setting – competencies that help young people persist when learning gets tough. (Raikes Foundation, 2013)
