Parent Involvement for Motivated Learners: Encouraging Self-Directed and Resilient Students

By Alyssa Gonzalez-Dehass

Book Overview

Parent Involvement for Motivated Learners provides pre-service teachers and researchers with guidance on how to foster mindful, healthy school-family partnerships that empower students to become resilient, self-directed learners. Given the intense academic pressures on students to succeed - and on parents and teachers to help them do so - it is important to develop learners who can weather increased standards and demands. Committed to helping teachers reflect on how parent involvement relates to motivational concepts such as the growth mindset, self-regulated learning, and intrinsic motivation to learn, this book is an accessible synthesis of relevant research and theory surrounding student motivation and parent involvement.
