 The
results of more than 35 years of research has proven that
positive connection between parent involvement and student
success is highly beneficial to the students performance
and overall behavior in every setting. Our nine years of
research and development mirror and support the finding
of many researchers as published in major medical journals
and other publication over the years. We are on the cutting
edge of positive growth and change. When parents and families
effectively engage in the education of their children there
is greater potential of transforming children positively
than any other type of educational reform.
Further, educators who realize that they are the parents
of their classrooms when children are in their care will
experience much better results than those teachers who simply
approach it as doing a job. When families and schools are
given well-structured, quality parent involvement and classroom
management programs they experience profound benefits for
students, parents, teachers, and the entire school in general.
The students have higher grades, test scores, and graduation
rates and they have better school attendance. Drugs and
alcohol use and violent behavior decreases dramatically
and teachers and administrations have greater confidence,
they are more efficient, and excited about coming to work.
The Points Method® System produces results that are
long-lasting and that work with a diverse range of parents,
students, educators and child advocate professionals.
