THE ROLE OF PARENTS IN EDUCATION
KING DAVID INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL
GADA  ODUPONG OFAAKOR
INTRODUCTION
Although most structured learning takes place in
the confines of the school, that doesnt mean that
parents cannot have an active role in their
childrens education.
On the contrary, parents can encourage, motivate,
and even influence their kids to do well in school.
This presentation will discuss the roles that
parents play in the education of their children.
ONE-ON-ONE TALKS
Communication between parents and
children is very important. It is the
responsibility of the parent to provide
guidance and advice.
During these one-on-one sessions,
problems and corresponding solutions
can be discussed.
All children need some time for a heart-
to-heart talk with their parents.
MONITOR YOUR CHILDS PROGRESS IN
SCHOOL
Parents should have active participation in their
childs school.
They should be aware of how their child is
progressing in school.
The online grading portals, report cards, and the
school progress reports provide parents a pretty
good picture of the students performance 
grades, attendance, behavior, and evaluation of
the teacher.
COORDINATE WITH TEACHERS
The teacher is the best person to talk to on
how well a child is doing in school.
Often, the teacher will be able to give
feedback not just on the academic aspect,
but the emotional, and social aspects as
well.
Parents will be made aware if there are
problems that may be hindering learning and
student achievement.
ATTEND PARENT-TEACHER MEETINGS
A parent-teacher association, or PTA, is an organization
composed of parents and teachers that is intended to
facilitate parental participation in school.
Most elementary and middle schools (whether public or
private) have a PTA.
Parent-teacher associations take an active role in
developing programs that support the educational needs
of children.
They also promote strong partnerships among families,
schools, and communities
PARTICIPATE IN SCHOOL ACTIVITIES
School activities are great opportunities to
bring together students and parents.
Students are strongly encouraged to
participate in school functions, contests, and
sports.
Children naturally want to exhibit their talents
and skills for everyone to see, especially their
parents. Its also an excellent opportunity to get
a feel of the school environment and how
students interact with each other.
CONNECT WHAT YOUR CHILD LEARNS TO
EVERYDAY LIFE
More often than not, many of the things that your kids learn in
school can be associated with everyday life. For example, you
can talk to your child about units of measurement when
cooking.
In the field of science, you can discuss celestial bodies (sun,
moon, stars), and the weather outside.
If your child shows interest in gadgets and things, you can
explain how the computer, refrigerator, and other appliances
work. You can also discuss safety inside and outside the home
(what to do during a storm, fire, or earthquake).
Make this a part of your childs everyday experience to fuel
your childs curiosity and desire to learn.
