For some it’s time for celebra- tion as they champion that next step. For others it’s painful, and the loss of a child’s presence is a daily challenge they’re work- ing to overcome. They want their child to succeed, but the child’s absence is hard to get used to. I know parents of college students who struggled to keep their students focused and on task during elementary and high school. It often takes persis- tence and day-to-day involvement, staying on top of assignments, dead- lines, course decisions, all the while providing plenty of encouragement and opportunity to mature and gain independence. Study after study show that parent support and positive, meaningful rela- tionships with adults is key to student success. According to a 2002 study by researchers Gambone, Connell and Klem, students with strong adult sup- port are five times more likely to leave high school doing well, and doing well is more than graduating. Doing well, in this study, includes maintaining good grades and having college or career plans. Parent involvement doesn’t necessarily mean coming to school. According to the Center for Comprehensive School Reform and Improvement, parents can provide a home set- ting that promotes and rein- forces what is taught at school; contribute their own knowledge and skills, enriching their child’s instructional program; and help their children make their way through the school system. Unfortunately, parent involvement often declines as students reach mid- dle and high school. ACT suggests getting started as early as sixth grade and provides the following steps for planning: • Considering postsecondary edu- cation • Deciding to attend college • Selecting high school courses to prepare for postsecondary training • Maintaining good grades • Gathering information about the college admissions process • Discussing educational and career goals with coun- selors, teachers and parents • Obtaining information about colleges and academic programs • Obtaining information about financial aid. Kathy Garcia • Exploring college majors and career interests. If you know someone who just sent a young adult off into the world, pat the person on the back, or join the party. Better yet, ask the person to share how the student got there. There’s a good chance the par- ent’s personal involvement made all the difference. Kathy Garcia is the Business Services and Marketing Manager of the Job Training Center and sits on the Steering Committee for Expect More Tehama.
