Abstract

This study examines the interaction between parents, teachers and School Leadership through digital channels. Its purpose was to explore the characteristics of teachers' and parents' and School Leadership conduct through this interaction and to identify patterns of behavior among teachers, parents and School Leadership s on these platforms. To conduct the current study, two questionnaires were developed and distributed online: one of the questionnaires was intended for the parents of seventh-grade students in Arab schools in Israel. The second one was handed to the teachers and School Leadership s of the students. Those two questionnaires have undergone a process of analysis and comparison to come up with results and findings. The present study revealed insights and findings in the context of parent-teacher- School Leadership involvement through digital interaction. The parental involvement is very considered in the process of their children’s learning. It is part of the education process and they need to be engaged actively in the way that this study sees it. The study also shows that parental involvement through digital channels is considered as phenomenon among different and diverse populations.
