Has ParentNet conducted research in schools to show improvement in parent involvement or student achievement?
To date, ParentNet has not conducted its own research in schools, other than to solicit feedback from parents, faculty, and administrators and to collect statistics on participation. We have thus far relied on the current research that shows a direct correlation between parent involvement and the facilitation of student intelligence, achievement, and competence. Our program has been particularly inspired by the research of Joyce Epstein of John Hopkins University, Ann T. Henderson of New York University, and the Search Institute of Minneapolis. Ann T. Henderson currently serves on our National Advisory Board.
