Defining "parent involvement"

As both a parent and a teacher, I hear "parent involvement" stressed often.   But this article helps define parent participation -- surprisingly simple, straightforward ways parents can support their child's learning.  A great way to help parents understand it's not about spending hours at school, rather it's the time spent away from school talking with your children about what they are learning and how it applies to their lives, both present and future.  An encouragement to all parents about how to help their students succeed!
