Measuring the effects between family and teacher characteristics on student achievement

Teachers and parents are two of the most important and valuable resources a child has at his or her disposal during their schooling experience. Family environments are believed to have a significant influence in the development of a child's cognitive abilities and affective characteristics. It is the parents who establish and reinforce certain values and behaviors that effect the educational attainment of a child. The environment established in a classroom affects the learning of a child through the formal and informal structures and procedures developed by teachers. Teachers can establish an environment that facilitates learning and influences certain values and behaviors.
