No Child Left Behind and Parental Involvement
No child left Act was implemented in 2001, which was then reauthorized the basic and
secondary learning act. This particular act changed the manner of education provided in schools.
It has delivered schools with the guidelines for removing the barriers of education that present
between the children belongs to low income and their more wealthy friends (McGuinn, 2016).
There are different areas contained by NCLB which concern to parental participation.
However, the numerous requirements can be engaged in some overarching groups: parental
announcement and choice, parental participation strategies, and responsibility (Vinovskis, 2015).
NCLB necessitates states to designate how they will gather and distribute effective parental
participation approaches to schools in their respective state policies to the U.S. Subdivision of
Education. The rule also needs school regions and institutes to have a printed parental
participation policy, which should be planned in association with and accepted by parents. The
guardians or parent must be involved in school backing teams envisioned to support schools,
chiefly low-performing institutes, in refining academic results. Low-performing institutes must
progress improvement strategies, which must comprise approaches to improve parental
participation (Park, & Holloway, 2017).
This Act provided some rights to parents;
They need to be informed about the progress of their children by receiving recurrent
progress reports. Parents have the right to have minimum one parent-teacher meeting every year,
reviewing classroom, and discussing with the staff about their child’s academic results McGuinn,
2016). To include parents in the institute they should be included in programs, events, and
courses designs and providing a written replica of the institute’s parent participation strategy,
