Also, Barnyak & McNelly (2009) in a joint work titled " An urban school district's parent involvement: A study of teachers' and administrators' beliefs and practices" examined the practices and beliefs of administrators and teachers regarding parent involvement in an urban school district following the first year of the implementation of an action plan based on six national standards for parent involvement. The instrument used for this study was adapted from "The Parent Involvement Inventory" published by the Illinois State Board of Education in 1994. The results of this study showed a mismatch between teachers' and administrators' beliefs and practices about parent involvement. Although teachers and administrators have strong beliefs about parent involvement and its importance in strengthening students’ achievement, what they practise in their schools and classrooms is not congruent with these beliefs.
