Cumulative Evaluation of Empowering Families
Roberts, Joanne
Grantee Submission
Empowering Families was focused on infusing the Providence Public School District (PPSD) elementary schools with an intervention centered on the Mind in the Making (MITM) training, designed to build the capacity of families, teachers, and schools to understand how children's executive function impacts social-emotional and cognitive growth. Data indicated that Empowering Families appeared to positively impact multiple factors included in this model of parental involvement. This includes factors such as parental motivations (e.g., efficacy and role construction); parental learning mechanisms (e.g., encouragement, modeling, instruction and reinforcement) and the importance placed on communication with parents by educators (e.g., invitation for involvement). In addition, Empowering Families also significantly predicted the importance parents placed on parent engagement activities. The report discusses findings in greater detail.
