The Effect of Parental Involvement In Academic Achievement

The Effect of Parental Involvement In Academic Achievement | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.opencolleges.edu.au - July 6, 2013 10:25 PM
Students with two parents operating in supportive roles are 52% more likely to enjoy school and get straight A’s than students whose parents are disengaged.
Beth Dichter's insight:

This infographic plus post explores the effect of parental involvement in academic achievement and it will probably come as no surprise that students whom have parents that are more engaged in school do better.  The post states "The influence of parental involvement on a student’s academic success should not be underestimated. While brain power, work ethic, and even genetics all play important roles in student achievement, the determining factor comes down to what kind of support system she has at home."
When you go to the post you will find a full version of the infographic that is easy to read.

The Battle Between What Teachers Know & What Politicians Want | Online Universities

The Battle Between What Teachers Know & What Politicians Want | Online Universities | Eclectic Technology | Scoop.it
From www.onlineuniversities.com - May 5, 2012 10:44 PM

"Politics is about what happens rightnow, but education policy is about what happens five or 10 years from now. And it’s the second part of that phrase that explains a sometimes uncomfortable truth about policy and policymaking — in education, we really cannot say with certainty exactly how things will turn out in a decade, as the results based on student performance must be judged by longitudinal surveys for about a decade before judgment is passed."

This article explores "this long-term vs. right now view of education" looking at two survesys of teachers, and provides a list of what factors teachers believe "have the greatest impact on improving academic achievement" and which teachers believe "are the least important for improving academic achievement."
