The purpose of this study was to investigate the current understanding that parents have of RTI. Many schools follow the RTI process in order to help a student who is not meeting the prescribed academic standards, and who is falling behind in a grade level. The proposed study addressed the problem of the current documentation being used with parents. The knowledge that parents currently have of RTI was explored through a short survey consisting of five questions. Based on the information gathered from the surveys, the research examined possible solutions to improve communication and provided ways to make the process and documentation of RTI more parent-friendly. This will allow for parents to be better informed on their children’s academic progress.Collections

Factors influencing parental investment : does parental financial allocation vary as a function of perceived child sexual orientation?Trouton, Grant Thomas (2013-06-26)An evolutionary perspective on parental investment suggests that natural selection might have favored mechanisms by which parents can evaluate the likelihood of a given offspring’s chances of successful reproduction. Adopting such a perspective, an online survey-based monetary allocation task was employed to test the hypothesis that parental investment was positively related to likelihood of offspring heterosexuality, such that vignettes describing heterosexual offspring would receive more money than vignettes describing homosexual offspring. Results did not support this hypothesis, as investment in offspring was unrelated to perceived offspring sexual orientation. However, exploratory analyses revealed that increasingly negative attitudes towards lesbians and gays predicted decreased investment in offspring. Such findings could serve to embolden civil rights activists in their struggle for increased LGBT social rights. Future research in this area would benefit from correlational research examining real familial relationships and investment patterns, rather than experimentally simulated relationships, to increase the external validity of findings and to reduce social desirability bias.

Do Parents Use of DBT Skills Change After a 12 Week Parent/Adolescent DBT Skills Group?Powell, Danielle M.; The College at Brockport (2014-04-01)The following research looks at the results of a pre and post assessment of parents’ DBT skills use after completing a 12 week DBT skills group. The research design compared individual and group raw score means of the pre and post assessment data. It was hypothesized that caregivers’ post DBT-WCCL scores would indicate more use of DBT skills following the intervention. The data showed a decrease in dysfunctional coping and an increase in DBT skills on post assessments. The magnitude of decrease in dysfunctional coping was greater than the increase in use of DBT skills. Clinicians need to ensure that their DBT groups teach skills to caregivers along with their teen.

Parental Involvement: Barriers Hispanic Parents FaceRossi, Frank; Cruz, Iris M.; State University of New York College at Brockport (2016-08-01)Abstract Parental involvement in education is considered to be one of the key contributing factors to students’ academic success whose benefits have been well established. In spite of this, lack of parental involvement continues to be one of the leading concerns schools in the United States face, especially among Hispanic parents whose children have long been characterized by low levels of high school completion and highest dropout rates of any other ethnicity. Findings indicate that Hispanic parents face unique barriers, such as language barriers, low levels of education, and economic hardships that hinder their involvement in their children’s education and that traditional approaches aimed at increasing parental involvement, which focus on school-based involvement, have proved largely ineffective with Hispanic parents as they fail to consider the factors that dissuade parents from becoming involved. These insights can inform schools and educators’ efforts of increasing parental involvement by identifying and creating awareness about the factors that influence and preclude parental involvement among Hispanic parents.
