festivities and class meetings may seem ancillary to academics, research reveals that it is, in fact, a primary contributor to student success.
The Nellie Mae Education Foundation meta analysis of 35 studies done on the relationship between community and parental involvement and student success found that vibrant, engaged school communities help children with motivation, behavior, social emotional learning and academics.
Author of the article and education researcher, Dr. Eric Schaps, says: “These benefits are often lasting. Researchers have found that the positive effects of certain community-building programs for elementary schools persist through middle and high school.”
