According to research findings, which of these predict(s) parents' involvement in their children's education the most?

The prediction of parents' involvement in their children's education is strongly influenced by school policies and teacher practices. Research indicates that when schools create inclusive environments through supportive policies and proactive teacher engagement, parents are more likely to participate in their children's educational experiences. This involvement can manifest in various ways, such as attending parent-teacher meetings, volunteering at the school, or engaging with school communications.

School policies that encourage family engagement, provide resources for parents, and promote effective communication between teachers and families have been shown to foster a culture of involvement. Additionally, teachers who actively reach out to parents and recognize the importance of family participation can significantly enhance parental engagement. This dynamic creates a partnership that benefits students' academic outcomes.

In contrast, while factors such as racial or ethnic status, marital status, and educational levels of parents may influence involvement to some extent, they do not have the same direct and powerful effect as the structures and relationships established by school environments and teacher practices.
