LITERATURE REVIEW
Parental Involvement
The key component in building meaningful
relationships is consistent communication between
teachers and parents (Lindberg, 2014; Sawyer, 2015;
Shepard & Rose, 1995; Washington, 2011).
Language barriers discourage parents to be involved
in their childs academics (Olmstead, 2013; Pena,
2001; Shah, 2009)
Autonomy is the best support a parent can provide.
(Gonida & Cortina, 2014).
