Adolescents are the future of the human society. To achieve positive progression and development of the society at large, all round development and mental stability of adults during their adolescence is a quintessential prerequisite and should thus receive utmost priority from the adults (parents, teachers and peers) who may be directly or indirectly related to adolescents parents, educators and members of our society unequivocally acknowledge that adolescence is a critical period for physical, emotional and mental development that will ultimately provide adult life contentment and a sense of achievement. Researchers across the world have reiterated that 13-19 years of age are the most fascinating years of growth when children experience not only physical transformation but also undergo hormonal changes. These changes lead adolescents to adopt both positive and negative outlook / decision making when they come at the crossroads in life. Parents, educators and psychologists around the world have been found to show keen interest in identifying various factors which might positively affect Adolescents' 'Academic Achievement' and 'Behaviour Adjustment'. This research aims to determine how and to what extent, Parental and Teacher's Involvement influences the achievements and 'Behaviour Adjustment' of teenagers. Comprehensive knowledge of this subject may not only help to recommend 'Parenting Practices' but also 'Policies, Practices and Activities of Educational Institutions', with both working in tandem towards the common goal. It may also facilitate teachers in devising a roadmap for their involvement, while aiming for improved Academic results and 'Behaviour Adjustment' in teenagers. The research may help in designing and developing a concrete plan for Parental and Teacher's Involvement, including constructs that eventually may get identified which have most positive and powerful impact in adolescents

This volume takes an international and multidisciplinary approach to understanding students’ academic achievement. It does so by integrating educational literature with developmental psychology and family studies perspectives. Each of the nine chapters focuses on a particular country: China, Colombia, Italy, Jordan, Kenya, the Philippines, Sweden, Thailand, or the United States. It describes the country as a cultural context, examines the current school system and parenting in light of the school system, and provides empirical evidence from that country regarding links between parenting and students’ academic achievement. The book highlights similarities and differences in education and parenting across these nine countries - all varying widely in socioeconomic and cultural factors that affect schools and families. The volume contributes to greater understanding of links between parenting and academic performance in different cultural groups. It sheds light on how school systems and parenting are embedded in larger cultural settings that have implications for students’ educational experiences and academic achievement. As two of the most important contexts in which children and adolescents spend time, understanding how schools and families jointly contribute to academic achievement holds promise for advancing the international agenda of promoting quality education for all.

How do race and class intersect to shape the identities and experiences of Black middle-class parents and their children? What are Black middle-class parents’ strategies for supporting their children through school? What role do the educational histories of Black middle-class parents play in their decision-making about their children’s education? There is now an extensive body of research on the educational strategies of the white middle classes but a silence exists around the emergence of the Black middle classes and their experiences, priorities, and actions in relation to education. This book focuses on middle-class families of Black Caribbean heritage. Drawing on rich qualitative data from nearly 80 in-depth interviews with Black Caribbean middle-class parents, the internationally renowned contributors reveal how these parents attempt to navigate their children successfully through the school system, and defend them against low expectations and other manifestations of discrimination. Chapters identify when, how and to what extent parents deploy the financial, cultural and social resources available to them as professional, middle class individuals in support of their children’s academic success and emotional well-being. The book sheds light on the complex, and relatively neglected relations, between race, social class and education, and in addition, poses wider questions about the experiences of social mobility, and the intersection of race and class in forming the identity of the parents and their children. The Colour of Class: The educational strategies of the Black middle classes will appeal to undergraduates and postgraduates on education, sociology and social policy courses, as well as academics with an interest in Critical Race Theory and Bourdieu. The Colour of Class was awarded 2nd prize by the Society for Educational Studies: Book Prize 2016.

This book examines socioeconomic inequality and student outcomes across various Western industrialized nations and the varying success they have had in addressing achievement gaps in lower socioeconomic status student populations. It presents the national profiles of countries with notable achievement gaps within the respective school-aged student populations, explains the trajectory of achievement results in relation to both national and international large-scale assessment measures, and discusses how relevant education policies have evolved within their national contexts. Most importantly, the national profiles investigate the effectiveness of policy responses that have been adopted to close the achievement gap in lower socioeconomic status student populations. This book provides a cross-national analysis of policy approaches designed to address socioeconomic inequality.

Academic underachievement has been a common concern in the field of education. In the tertiary level, factors like adolescents' personal-social adjustment, achievement motivation and vocational interest appear to be significant factors in academic performance. This study investigated the effects of a parent involvement module designed to improve the students' personal and social adjustment pattern as well as enhancing their achievement motivation and facilitating their decision making process. The intervention was implemented in a 2-month parental involvement program consisting of ten (10) modules of comprehensive interactive discussion for parents and students resulting in the implementation of carefully designed activities. A total of twelve students and five parents were participants in this study. The quasi experimental pretest post test design was employed. Underachievers comprised students who after one year of tertiary education incurred 9 or more units' failure. Likewise, these were also students who got low scores in their personal-social adjustment, achievement motivation and had difficulties in making career decisions. After the semester a post test was given to find out the effects of the PIP. The study proved significant on specific areas in their personal and social adjustment, achievement motivation and more stable career interest.
