Unfortunately, teacher-parent communication and involvement is not generally addressed in teacher preparation programs (Unal & Unal, 2014). Consequently, teachers often feel ill prepared to collaborate with parents or simply do not value or seek out such a relationship. Parent involvement can take many dimensions and should not be limited to once-a-year IEP meetings. Epstein (1991) conceptualized parental involvement as having six components: (1) participating in parenting, (2) communicating with teachers and schools, (3) volunteering at school, (4) helping children learn at home, (5) participating in decision making at school, and (6) collaborating with the community. Participating in parenting refers to creating a home environment that supports children as students. Teachers who are equipped with strategies that target a range of components will have an easier time promoting parent involvement at many different levels. Many teachers may start with the second component, communication, which has been found essential in student success.
