What is the most impactful strategy to improve parent involvement?

Connecting school and home is hard work. Principals will rely on teachers to maintain communication with parents. Teachers are even seen as “spokesmen” for the school, reinforcing the school's culture, strengths, and values in front of parents. So let's answer this question with specific ideas. Share how parents can be involved in your classroom and how you will maintain regular communication and provide updates on both positive and adverse events. It will be great when teachers share tools and resources with parents to support students.

Assistant principals frequently collaborate with parents to ensure their children's academic success. They may need to develop strategies to encourage parental involvement and academic success among their students. When answering this question, you can describe a specific strategy you used at your previous job to increase parent engagement.

Answer as an example: "I believe that the best way to increase parent involvement is to establish open lines of communication between teachers and parents." In my experience, when parents understand what we expect from their children in the class, they feel more confident in supporting them at home. To accomplish this, I created an online portal where parents could access assignments, communicate with teachers, and receive progress updates on their children.
