Each One Teach One: Parental Involvement and Family Engagement in Jamaica's Education System

Each One Teach One: Parental Involvement
and Family Engagement in Jamaica's Education System is a collection of research
studies and essays across multiple educational fields: leadership, psychology,
special education, early childhood, literacy studies, mathematics and teacher
education. The contributors to this collection provide empirical evidence on
the state of parental involvement and family engagement in Jamaica. A team
approach has been used in completing the various chapters in which graduate
researchers collaborated with lecturers in their areas of specialization. The
different voices and data from the participants along with relevant literature
shape the dialogue on the importance of home and school collaboration in
students' overall outcomes. Each One Teach One provides critical
onto-epistemological frameworks grounded within the Jamaican context to examine
the scope, prevalence, and effects of parental involvement and family
engagement in schooling. The findings, implications and recommendations can
guide policymakers in the formulation of strategies compatible with the needs
of the schools, students and families and provide indispensable data on how to effectively
work together to optimize students' success.
