- Parents who monitor their student's schoolwork and daily activities, communicate frequently with teachers and help develop schools and its relationship to student achievement have been widely studied. Nevertheless, many principals and teachers report that lack of parent involvement continues to be an obstacle to increasing student achievement at school. The purpose of this study was to determine whether emerging technologies facilitate better parent-teacher communication and parent involvement. The study revealed that parents and teachers both place a high value on proactive parent involvement. As access to technology continues to expand, the capabilities for connecting parents to schools will continue to grow.
