Parental Involvement in Supporting Inclusive Elementary School Classrooms

The purpose of this senior capstone research project is to examine the effective ways that parents can get involved in their elementary school students’ education that would impact their children’s academics in school classrooms. Given the barriers that some families face that cause them to be absent from their education in the classrooms, this study examines the role of parents on how they could support their children’s education in inclusive elementary school classrooms. Through the use of literature review and a case study, the findings revealed that parental involvement is important for their children’s early education years in both inside and outside of the classroom.
