After reading the DCSF commissioned literature review of work done in the field of parental investment, I contacted Charles Desforges to see if he was interested in the workshop based intervention we’re planning with St. Martin’s School.
Charles has very kindly offered his time to help us make sure that any data we collect will be useful in the bigger picture of educational psychology.
I’m hoping that we can contribute to the evidence that shows that intervention (as opposed to spontaneous parental involment) is valuable in increasing children’s achievement and adjustment at school.
