【 摘 要 】

Student teacher relationships, instructional practice, socio-economic status, and parental involvement are identified as underlying causes of the multidimensional construct of behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement. The literature review explores student engagement through a theoretical framework, a statement of the problem, purpose of the study, and review of the literature. A needs assessment identified the behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement levels of grade four, five and six students from three Southern Alberta schools to be below desirable levels. Correlations between low levels of student engagement and parent involvement were also identified. Literature that addresses how schools can better establish parent and external partnerships in order to improve student engagement was reviewed. An intervention related to increasing parent involvement through the use of Parent Teacher Academic Teams (PTAT) was implemented. Findings suggested when PTAT was implemented student perception of parent involvement in schools increased.
