First study of its kind, based on a survey of more than 1,700 teachers in England , reveals concerning gaps in skills.

Authors say teachers' essential pre-qualification training fails to prepare teachers to support parents' involvement in children's learning and education.

Previous research has identified a strong link between parental engagement and children's success at school.

A limitation of the paper is that the authors had to create their own measures of teachers' parental engagement knowledge and skills.

Going forwards, studies which validate these measurement tools would support more large-scale research and lay the groundwork for evaluating parental engagement training interventions in the future.
