Parental Involvement in Predicting School Motivation: Similar and Differential Effects Across Ethnic Groups (2012, background): “…in their schooling demonstrated increased participation in school (Simon, 2001), more time spent on school assignments (Trusty, 1996), decreased dropout rates (Epstein & Sheldon, 2002; Rumberger, 1995), and fewer retentions or placements in special education classrooms (Miedel & Reynolds, 1999).”
School–family relationships, school satisfaction and the academic achievement of young people (2017, neutral): “These school–family relationships (or, partnerships) have also influenced other student outcomes such as attendance and behaviour problems (Epstein and Sheldon 2002; Sheldon 2007).”
Quantifying Variation in Head Start Effects on Young Children's Cognitive and Socio-Emotional Skills Using Data from the National Head Start Impact Study. (2015, background): “This is because attendance is likely to be endogenous to other longer-term outcomes and poor attendance is linked to multiple risk factors (Epstein and Sheldon, 2002).”
Parental involvement on student academic achievement: A meta-analysis (2015, background): “For example, the way in which parental involvement is related to curricular aspects was studied by Fan (2001), Sheldon and Epstein (2002), Gordon and Cui (2012), and also by Powell, Son, File, and Froiland (2012).”
Stadium Attendance Demand Research: A Scoping Review (2021, background): “…would also have given back an almost unmanageable amount of unrelated publications referring to, for example, church attendance (e.g., Azzi & Ehrenberg, 1975), student attendance (e.g., Epstein & Sheldon, 2002), and, perhaps most prominently, work/employee attendance (e.g., Steers & Rhodes, 1978).”
Identifying the Determinants of Chronic Absenteeism: A Bioecological Systems Approach (2017, background): “Research suggests that increased communication to the parents about a child’s schooling can help to reduce absence rates (Epstein & Sheldon, 2002).”
School factors associated with school refusal- and truancy-related reasons for school non-attendance (2015, background): “Parents’ interest in their children’s schoolwork is an aspect of supportive parenting and has been found to be related to lower truancy and lower drop-out risk in several studies (e.g., Epstein and Sheldon 2002; Rumberger et al. 1990).”
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).”
Academic optimism and community engagement in urban schools (2011, background): “A growing body of research supports the contention that bridging strategies that actively engage parents in the life of the school have positive consequences for the school ( Epstein and Sheldon, 2002”
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).”
