TASK 4: PERSONAL JOURNALING VALUE
REFLECTION
In this time of pandemic, we must consider parents' roles in their children's education
in order to guide them in the right direction. Staff members communicate to parents that their
role in their child's education is valued by recognizing and supporting their parental roles in
their child's education. Staff and parents can collaborate to create and maintain a high-quality
educational program for children.
According to a research study by Ronald Ferguson, "Nearly half of a child's
achievement in school can be accounted for by factors outside the school, including parent
support." Consequently, the most important support any child can receive comes from the
parents. This support ranges from being responsible for making sure that the child arrives at
school well-rested, well-fed, and ready to learn, to setting high expectations for their child.
I was able to think of things that parents can do to help their child's learning based on the
report of group 5
1. Read, Read, Read: One of the most important things a parent can do for their child's
education is to read to their child or have their child read to them. Parents can also
encourage children to read by themselves. It is also important for children to see their
parents reading. Trips to the local library are always encouraged.
2. Praise and Encouragement: When parents offer praise and encouragement, they
have a positive influence on the child's motivation and confidence in becoming a
successful learner.
3. Establish Routines: It is important for parents to establish family routines that include
time for completing homework, completing daily chores, eating meals as a family, and
having a regular bedtime.
4. After School Activities: In order for education to be a priority, children need to be

limited on the number of after school activities they are involved in on a regular basis.
While after school activities such as sports, scouts, music, or others have numerous
benefits, it is important for parents to remember that school needs to be the first
priority. The parents are responsible for making sure that these other activities are not
impeding on their child's education.
5. Listen: It is important for a parent to encourage their child to share information with
them about school. Parents need to listen to their child and respond with
understanding.
6. Monitor Grades: Parents need to be aware of their children's grades. Parents can
reinforce and praise accomplishments, and offer assistance where additional work
may be needed.
As the future Administrator, I will give parents a seminar on how parents can support
their child's education by emphasizing the following key points:
1. Attendance: Good school attendance is important to academic achievement. When

students are absent from school they miss vital instruction. Parents have control over
their child's attendance and this includes arriving on time to school, and not taking
students out in the middle of the school day.
2. Attitude: Parents need to display a positive attitude toward school in general. If

parents have a positive attitude, the child will also have that positive attitude toward
school. Parents must be careful in how they address school concerns in front of their
child. If they display a negative attitude toward school, their child may adopt that as
his/her own attitude toward school.
3. Priority: Education must be given a top priority for it to come out on top. Therefore,
parents must make education their first priority, above all other after school activities.
4. Support: Children need their parent's help. When a child needs help on homework or
other special projects, it is their parents that they turn to. Parents need to offer support
and help their children. They may even need to find help outside of the home, a tutor,
for example.
5. Role Model: The parent needs to be a positive role model for the child in helping to
shape the child's opinions and attitudes about learning.
6. Get Involved: Research reveals that high self-esteem and student achievement are
closely related to positive parental involvement in school. When parents get involved
at school it can be a motivating factor to the child. It tells the child that the parents
think that school is important.
7. Communication: Parents need to keep in touch with their child's school and have a
positive relationship with the teacher.
