"Anyone involved in preservice training for future and present classroom teachers should read this book. Both the content and context of the book are practical, timely, and necessary as our country and classrooms become more diverse." Michele Dean, Principal Montalvo Elementary School, Ventura, CA Raise school attendance, reduce dropout rates, and improve academic performance of Latino students! Often marginalized by poverty, linguistic isolation, or prejudice, Latino students face many academic obstacles. And while research has shown that parental involvement plays a key role in academic achievement, most schools have failed to modify their parent involvement programs to address social and cultural realities of Latino families. Involving Latino Families in Schools provides tools and strategies for including Latino parents in developing sustained academic improvement. Sharing numerous first person success stories, author Concha Delgado Gaitan stresses three conditions of increased parental participation: connecting to families, sharing information with parents, and supporting continued parental involvement. Offering easily applied techniques for cultivating communication, this practical handbook examines Latino families and their educational aspirations for their children The communication systems needed between schools and Latino families How Latino families can assist their children at home Techniques to foster Latino parent involvement How to organize schoolwide parent involvement programs Through suggested activities, case examples, and vignettes, the author provides insights and instruction for planning, designing, and implementing parental participation programs that enhance the classroom curriculum and effectively engage Latino students. Designed primarily for elementary and secondary school principals and teachers, this innovative text is also an indispensable resource for district-level administrators.

The middle school level years demand critical attention in educational reform. Culturally diverse students in the United States show levels of academic achievement which are lower then those of other students. Children from oppressed minority groups often show high rates of dropping out as well as poor academic achievement. They are often profiled as students who are unmotivated and who have parents that are unresponsive to their growth and development in terms of educational attainment. However, this conception of poor academic achievement and lack of parental involvement is unfounded since research indicates that culturally diverse parents value education and have high standards for academic excellence in student performance. The purpose of this study was to examine factors that promote Hispanic parent involvement at the middle school level. A triangulation analysis was used as a guiding methodology for the development of a conceptual framework for a Hispanic parent involvement model at the middle school level. The triangulation analysis was accomplished through a methodological mix by using strategies that identified the factors that promoted Latino parent involvement at the middle school level. Three goals were achieved in the triangulation analysis: (1) the current review of the literature was studied in order to analyze successful parent involvement models for Latino parents; (2) interviews were conducted with expert panel members in the content area and analyzed to yield themes that emerged from the study; and (3) Mexican and Mexican American parents participated in focus group interviews. Mexican and Mexican American parents were interviewed concerning their needs in the development of a Hispanic parent involvement. A collaborative Hispanic parent involvement model was developed. The results of the study showed that in order to implement a Hispanic parent model at the middle level, there were critical themes which emerged including parent development, communication development, cognitive development, decision making, and social and cultural processes. These critical components used can be applied to culturally diverse parent typologies. The development of a collaborative model for Latino parents engages students, parents, and staff members to become active constituents and become empowered in a democratic participatory process. Mexican and Mexican American parents become change agents in socio-political and cultural contexts for systemic change in order to improve educational reform. Epstein's typology of "overlapping spheres of influence of family, school, community on children's learning" has major impact in school improvement and in the effectiveness of reaching out to parents in home-school collaboration. The results of the qualitative study indicated that in order to work effectively with culturally diverse parents, educators need to understand and be aware of the socio-political and cultural aspects of culture sensitivity, family values, language, belief system, and traditions. Culturally diverse parents are unique constituents that are powerful stakeholders in their children's education. The basic implications for this study are that the collaborative model may be used as a practical application model at the K-12 grade level, to understand adolescent development, to improve and increase parent participation, and to empower parents to be partners in education. This Hispanic model can be used as a formative evaluation to improve the instructional services to all constituents since the model will have a profound impact on parental participation and a direct influence on student achievement.

The purpose of this qualitative study was to gain an understanding of Hispanic parent perspectives about school involvement. The interview questions were semi structured and open-ended to allow for the participants to share their personal recollections and add further insights to the information. Hispanic parents do not think of parental involvement in the same way as staff in school districts, in that they place a value in supporting their child emotionally, teaching life skills at home, and by showing respect. Parents take their role of instilling values and manners in their children very seriously. The challenges arise from language barriers, low English proficiency of the parents, and economic struggles such as multiple jobs and lack of transportation. Suggestions include the creation of welcome centers for parents, inviting parents to share cultural and family information, and connecting the school resources with parents.

The purpose of this problem of practice was to improve Hispanic parental involvement in a rural elementary school. As a basis for improvement, Joyce Epstein's six types of involvement were utilized throughout the study. In the study, the researcher investigated the barriers for Hispanic parents, investigated ways to alleviate those barriers, and along with Hargrove's staff formed a home to school partnership with the Hispanic families so all stakeholders could understand their role in their children's education and student achievement. The staff made changes in the number of available translators, communicated everything in English and Spanish, and consistently gathered feedback to use for continuous improvement. The researcher related the research to Epstein (2009) six types of parental involvement: parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision making and collaborating with the community. The researcher found that there was some improvement in the types of parental involvement primarily Learning at Home and Communicating. There was also gains in the benchmark scores over the course of the study. However, more training is needed in order to improve with Volunteering and Collaborating with the Community. The researcher recommended the school write a grant to provide training for staff and parents, transportation for the parents and an extra translator to be hired at the school. Implementing these changes will allow this rural elementary school to continue to improve Hispanic parental involvement.

This study examines the relationship between public schools in an urban school district and Hispanic/Latino parents with limited or no English proficiency. The data gathered was based on interviews with eighteen (18) Hispanic/Latino parents. The interview questions focuses on parent involvement in their student's school. Specifically, the study raises issues about the existing social, economic and cultural capital in the interaction between the school and the Hispanic/ Latino parents with limited or no English proficiency, and how communication is important for a successful relationship. The following three themes are identified (1) parents indicated that their relationship with the student's school is good because they are treated well by the school staff (2) parents expressed a desire to have more Spanish speaking staff at the school to help understand English (3) parents were not as involved as they would like, due to work and the language barrier. These three themes were compared to existing literature, to investigate what the relationship is like between public schools and Hispanic/Latino parents with limited or no English proficiency. By examining previous and current research, I identified barriers to parent engagement for Hispanic/Latinos to highlight ways these obstacles have successfully been addressed to increase parental involvement and student achievement.

Public schools with a large Hispanic student population often claim lack of parental involvement (Le. classroom volunteers, participation in ParentTeacher Organizations) as a major cause of poor academic achievement by the students. Many Hispanic parents have a different idea about what their roles are in their child's education and are not familiar with the research on parental involvement as defined in the United States. The purpose of this study was to explore the thoughts, and the perceived roles and responsibilities of Hispanic parents, and their involvement in their child's education at home and school. The research participants of this study were the parents of nine, Hispanic English Learner (El) students of an elementary school in a middle class neighborhood of a city in southwestern Riverside County. Parent questionnaires and recorded interviews were used to collect pertinent data for this project. It was found that most parents felt that their role in their child's education was centered on helping their child with homework. In this way, they perceive themselves as being actively involved in the education of the child. This study highlights the need for administrators and teachers to further their under-standing of the factors that create barriers for Hispanic parents within schools.
