Each One Teach One: Parental Involvement and Family Engagement in Jamaica’s Education System is a collection of research studies and essays across multiple educational fields: leadership, psychology, special education, early childhood, literacy studies, mathematics and teacher education. The contributors to this collection provide empirical evidence on the state of parental involvement and family engagement in Jamaica. A team approach has been used in completing the various chapters in which graduate researchers collaborated with lecturers in their areas of specialization. The different voices and data from the participants along with relevant literature shape the dialogue on the importance of home and school collaboration in students’ overall outcomes. Each One Teach One provides critical onto-epistemological frameworks grounded within the Jamaican context to examine the scope, prevalence, and effects of parental involvement and family engagement in schooling. The findings, implications and recommendations can guide policymakers in the formulation of strategies compatible with the needs of the schools, students and families and provide indispensable data on how to effectively work together to optimize students’ success.

Reviews for Each One Teach One: Parental Involvement and Family Engagement in Jamaica's Education System

The impact of this study should be considered as an exceptional, thoroughly researched, and strong contribution to its field. The chapters are inimitably aligned and wholly support each other. The examination on parental involvement and family engagement is current and offers an extensive amount of new information to its field. Furthermore, the methodology on problem solving added a significant contribution. The findings in this research are new, which also allows for a substantive contribution to existing knowledge. - Dr Camuy G.
