| Description |
The purpose of this descriptive study was to further understand the perceptions of families during their involvement at a district charter school in Utah. To more fully understand families' perceptions while they were involved at school, an online survey was given to families asking them to rate confidence, communication, and connections involving different school community aspects. The survey also contained open responses asking for families' motivations to volunteer and improvements that could be made when involved at school. Results suggest that although there are high levels of reported confidence and perceptions of community collaborative practices, uneven power dynamics within the community was also evident (Ishimaru, 2019). Further examination of parent involvement strategies and practices at the district charter school should take place to ensure family-centered and equitable collaboration is happening (Knopf & Swick, 2008; Ishimaru, 2019; Wang, 2011;). |
