Abstract	Parents indicate that meaningful and consistent parental involvement significantly enhances teacher efficacy, which in turn fosters a more positive, trust-based school climate. Conversely, superficial or transactional forms of engagement were associated with lower teacher motivation and weakened collegiality. The findings evidence on the centrality of administrative support and teacher satisfaction in educational performance, underscoring that the emotional and managerial ecology of a school is co-created by families and educators. This study argues that reimagining parental participation as a collaborative governance mechanism—rather than a ceremonial event—can transform not only how teachers teach but also how schools feel. Policy implications advocate institutional frameworks that embed parental partnership into the core of school governance, ensuring holistic teacher development and a sustainable climate of mutual trust and shared accountability.
