The literature review presents evidence for how vitally important parental engagement is for helping children to succeed academically and to sustain their achievement. Meaningful parental engagement can be promoted and developed by focusing on enabling and encouraging parents to be engaged with decision making processes. This study has illuminated the practice of an individual school regarding how they engage with parents in decision making.
The two viewpoints produced from the Q-sort offered a macro-level exploration of how the school views engaging with parents in decision making processes. Although there are differences between the two viewpoints there were also several strong similarities. Both viewpoints placed parents at the heart of the process and strongly felt that it is of paramount importance that parents are respected and valued. That is, parents are viewed as partners in the process. Communication was revealed as a theme that ran through both factors that is
147 perceived as essential in developing a trusting and respectful two-way relationship.
The second part of the study aimed to explore further the school staff’s
viewpoints on parental engagement, that is it offered a micro-level exploration. The findings from the study indicate that it is important and worthwhile for
schools to foster and develop parents’ intrinsic motivation; in particular parents’
sense of competency and relatedness. The focus group identified an impressive list of activities that the school employs in motivating parents to engage in decision making processes. The survey revealed which of these activities they most value and find worthwhile. This study reinforces the view that having a perception that the school wants them to be involved is a central and decisive factor for parental engagement. The findings from this study show that one of the ways this is manifested is in the invitations, opportunities and demands for engagements that the school presents to parents.
The findings also highlighted the value in schools investing in developing a two- way partnership with parents. This is developed through mutual trust, respect and commitment. The findings of the study also reinforce that it is important and worthwhile for schools to consider how they develop this relationship with parents. One area for schools to consider is how they acknowledge and address the power imbalance between teacher and parents; for example in how home-school contracts are devised and utilised.
The school used in this study already had a good reputation for engaging with parents. This study reinforces this reputation. These final words given by a parent of the school neatly summarise the shared trust, respect, humility and hope embedded in the parent-school relationship:
I always feel genuinely welcome in school. There is a warmth and friendliness in everyone. It brings about a feeling that enables the smallest concern to be raised
148 without concern. This is very special and deeply
