1. Needs Analysis
In present time, it is observed that involvement of parents plays an important role in
students learning at for middle and high school. In other words, it can be said that student's
success is directly linking to encouragement done by families towards learning at home where
there involvement is something that improves the understanding and pushes students towards
effective learning. Based on the information given by Nugraemi, and Usman, 2019, parents
engagement if directly takes place in student's lives then it can be considered as a crucial support
that impacts positively on overall learning process that may lead to improve lifelong knowledge.
On the other hand, many teachers at both high and middle school stated that developing
interventions in relation to parent engagement towards student's learning has brought ample
number of changes in motivation level, grades and behaviour of students (Sia and Ismail, 2016).
Therefore, it can easily be said that involvement of parents directly affects children’s
knowledge and interest towards education and push motivation level, profound behaviour of
children towards learning and this ultimately impacts positively on their grades. Including this,
positive learning environment for student can be created through increasing improvement of
parents towards learning (Yigzaw, 2019). However, it can be said that Promoting Parental
Involvement is not that easy because life has become really very busy where both husband and
spouse are earning to secure their own and of their children's future. This has impacted
negatively on student's learning process because, it is much needed for parents to involve
themselves so that student's behaviour, knowledge level and learning as well. The problem that
came in front was the ineffectiveness of work-based life of parents as they have engaged
themselves in their work so much, due to which they are not able to provide proper proper time
to children (Robih, , Suratman, and Soesatyo,, 2017).
Current thinking and good practices on teaching and learning in national level
At present, thinking of good practices on teaching and learning are linking to
involvement of parents in children’s educational development. Basically, collaborating with
parents or involving them in students learning is considered to be something which impacts
positively on overall performance level (includes behaviour, knowledge and learning) of
student's learning (Wilder, 2017). Atmosphere of the classrooms not just has been appeared to
influence children's results and accomplishment in any case, is a prominent strategy issue in

Current thinking and good practices on teaching and learning in national level
At present, thinking of good practices on teaching and learning are linking to
involvement of parents in children’s educational development. Basically, collaborating with
parents or involving them in students learning is considered to be something which impacts
positively on overall performance level (includes behaviour, knowledge and learning) of
student's learning (Wilder, 2017). Atmosphere of the classrooms not just has been appeared to
influence children's results and accomplishment in any case, is a prominent strategy issue in
various nations and areas. The activities of understudies inside study halls and the formation of a
protected and beneficial learning condition are significant for some schools and can be a difficult
component of educators' work. OECD’s Survey (TALIS) concludes that one educator in four in
many nations loses at any rate 30% of exercise time to troublesome students conduct, and a few
educators lose the greater part. Besides, across nations, 60% of instructors are in schools whose
school head reports that classrooms unsettling influences learning in different ways (Fridman-
Teutsch and Attar-Schwartz, 2019). In all nations this is an issue in a moderately high extent of
schools and represents a critical test for successful instructing. Basically, current thinking in
relation to teaching and learning is directly linking collaboration of parents in education for
middle school & high school students. It is analysed that there are a few problems that are
regularly faced at the time of adopting good practices of teaching and learning while promoting
parental involvement at national level (United Kingdom) and these are presented underneath:
Collaborating with Parents: Specifically, there are a range of problems that are regularly
taking place in learning and teaching while promoting parents. This is considered to be the best
practice which is continuously been taken into consideration by teachers at national level in order
to improve student's educational development. Basically, teacher's full support may help their
children to embrace themselves towards lifelong learning about different or particular study that
has been taken into consideration by them. Also, this may lead students towards success as well,
if continuous support is presented by both parents and teachers (Schunk and Zimmerman, 2012).
A student's training can be significantly upgraded by their folks' (parents/guardians) contribution
at home. Utilising parent-educator connections during guardian instructor meetings, at middle or
high school may effectively embrace the efforts towards behaviour, knowledge and learning of
students. It has also been discovered that guardians/parents can reinforce their children's
education level into lifelong learning. But, the current situation in United Kingdom is that
parents are busy in their own lives and majorly do not show their interest towards student's
educational development (Naylor And et. al., 2015). The thinking of them is that teachers are
enough to enhance knowledge level of their own children. In present context, the national policy
that was introduced and project was Family Links programme, where parents collaborated with
teachers for better opportunities for their children's educational development.
Feedback given by teachers to both parents and students: This is also considered to be
another practice that is continuously taking place in supporting both learning and teaching.

another practice that is continuously taking place in supporting both learning and teaching.
Basically, learners can move forward without having any support of their parents. However,
educational development of students can also be effectively embraced in much effective and in
efficient manner as well. With feedback of individuals, teachers have to provide group feedback
to asses different areas of need (Schunk and Mullen, 2012). Students have to be provided with
various opportunities so that there can be appropriate learning process, materials, and Timely
instruction. Current thinking of teachers is that taking support from parents might directly impact
positively on overall educational development of students. It is said because, children moreover
stays dependent on their parents and it has been analysed that any sort of support given by them
would directly improve different skills, attributes, attitude and so on.
Present thinking & good practices on teaching and learning in local
As mentioned in article, a practice that has been considered by teachers at local level in
relation to teaching and learning (promoting parental involvement) and these are presented
underneath:
Teacher Clarity: This is considered to be one of the crucial practice in relation to
teaching and learning which has been adopted by teachers where they begin a new part of study
and project of students (Greenleaf and et. al., 2011). In present context, it can be said that the
purpose of this practice is to deliver information about students like declared criteria on the way
to be successful in much effective and in efficient manner. Here, it can be said that parents could
effectively deliver information to teachers about how their children can effectively get proper
learning in relation to the same.
Whole school approach: Another crucial practice attempted by teachers of schools for
engaging their parents for their children’s learning. It is said that, mainstream activities of this
intervention or practice which was introduced by different borough of London, United Kingdom
has helped in enhancing employee engagement (Hattie, 2012). This has not only impacted
positively on overall education system through better understanding of different abilities of
students but it also affected learning and knowledge grabbing capability of students in much
more effective ways. According to Sakiz, Pape and Hoy, 2012, the engagement strategy needs to
be integrated with whole school approach as this would help both middle and high schools to
engage parents in much effective and in efficient manner.
Staff’ needs: To connect viably with, staff, parents or teachers need training, especially
when operative with parents with their foundations are altogether with their own. School teachers
educational development of students can also be effectively embraced in much effective and in
efficient manner as well. With feedback of individuals, teachers have to provide group feedback

ought to in this manner get parental commitment preparing through starting educator preparing
or proceeding with proficient turn of events (Pianta, Hamre and Allen, 2012). Parents' needs
schools which effectively connect with guardians utilize a wide comprehension of commitment
of parents and different methodologies according to the understandings and estimations of the
parents have focus. Parental commitment with youngsters' learning is a process that is connected
