The Effectiveness of Interventions to Increase Parent Involvement in Special Education: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis (2017, background): “The 6 mentioned types of parent involvement have been demonstrated to increase student achievement (Sheldon & Epstein, 2005), improve school attendance (Epstein & Sheldon, 2002), decrease behavior problems (Vakalahi, 2001), and decrease drop-out rates (Barnard, 2003).”
Parent Involvement and Children's Academic and Social Development in Elementary School (2010, background): “Consequently, parent involvement is encouraged by teachers, childcare providers, policy makers, parents, and researchers (Duch, 2005; Sheldon & Epstein, 2005).”
School and home connections and children's kindergarten achievement gains: The mediating role of family involvement (2012, background): “Sheldon and his colleagues (Sheldon, 2007; Sheldon & Epstein, 2005; Sheldon 9 ood R e a d r s v i h t D l i f f p i a f D S s s h o p f i o t i a n t o s a a t h r t d r t g t f f d T i s s l c p t 3 p ally representative sample of about 21,000 kindergarteners in over”
Parent Involvement, Academic Achievement and the Role of Student Attitudes and Behaviors as Mediators. (2014, background): “Two of the more predominant conceptualizations for parent-child involvement are parent-child discussion and parental monitoring (e.g. Astone and McLanahan 1991; Ho Sui-Chi and Willms 1996; Keith et al. 1986; Pong 1997; Reynolds 1992; Sheldon and Epstein 2005).”
Improving Preschoolers’ Numerical Abilities by Enhancing the Home Numeracy Environment (2016, background): “However, little research has yet investigated the impact of supporting mathematical competencies in the home learning environment (e.g., Sheldon & Epstein, 2005; Starkey & Klein, 2000).”
School Climate: a Review of the Construct, Measurement, and Impact on Student Outcomes (2015, background): “Strong parent-community-school partnerships, for example, are essential for promoting positive student achievement, although some evidence suggests that associations are stronger for elementary school children than for middle school children (Hill 2009; Sheldon 2003; Sheldon and Epstein 2005).”
Parent Involvement in Homework: A Research Synthesis (2008, background): “…product of regression analyses (such as semipartial or partial correlations; Anderson, 2000; Cooper et al., 2000; Pezdek, Berry, & Renno, 2002; Sheldon & Epstein, 2005), then the reported beta weights for the relation between parent involvement in homework and achievement range from −.33 to…”
Parental Involvement Practices in Formalized Home–School Cooperation (2010, background): “…home–school cooperation help to improve the grades, attendance, and well-being of pupils in school (Catsambis, 2001; Epstein & Sanders, 2000; Sheldon & Epstein, 2005a, 2005b; Simon, 2004), the focus is on what Macbeth and Ravn (1994) call the educational role of parents and Nordahl (2007)…”
The effects of school-based parental involvement on academic achievement at the child and elementary school level: A longitudinal study (2017, background): “…studies demonstrate an association between school-based PI and student achievement, many of them draw on cross-sectional data (e.g., Pomerantz, Moorman, & Litwack, 2007; Sheldon & Epstein, 2005; Sheridan, Knoche, Edwards, Bovaird, & Kupzyk, 2010; Xu, Kushner Benson, Mudrey-Camino, & Steiner, 2010).”
Involving Latino Parents With Mathematics Through Family Math Nights: A Review of the Literature (2009, background): “Sheldon and Epstein (2005) discussed a teacher who wanted to improve students’ mathematics skills by improving their parents’ general English skills and vocabulary.”
Testing a Structural Equation Model of Partnership Program Implementation and Parent Involvement (2005, background): “Studies have confirmed this, showing that school outreach to families predicts greater parent involvement (Dauber & Epstein, 1993; Simon, 2004) and improves student outcomes such as math achievement, attendance, and behavior (Epstein & Sheldon, 2002; Sheldon & Epstein, 2002, 2004, 2005).”
From Parental Involvement to Children's Mathematical Performance: The Role of Mathematics Anxiety (2013, background): “…use aversive forms of parenting, such as negative reinforcement, punishment, or nonresponsiveness (Mellon & Moutavelis, 2011), not because they are uninterested and uninvolved in helping their child but because they do not know how to help their child (Gal & Stoudt, 1995; Sheldon & Epstein, 2005).”
