As a young teenager forced to leave her small home community to attend the residential high\u00a0school in Frobisher Bay, Elisapee Flaherty found her contact with her parents reduced to short\u00a0phone calls. She persevered to complete her high school and become a teacher. Now an\u00a0Inuktitut program consultant, she finds herself wondering about the importance of parental\u00a0involvement in schooling, the extent to which it has improved since her experiences as a\u00a0student, and what might be done to improve it further. Her current research explores these\u00a0questions and draws upon her own experience, interviews with representative stakeholders, and a review of research on parental involvement in schools in other contexts. Although\u00a0improved access to higher grades in small communities has increased the potential for parental\u00a0involvement in Nunavut schools, she finds there remains room for improvement and suggests\u00a0strategies for doing so.<\/p>\n
