Latino communities in the United States consistently lag behind other ethnic groups in educational achievement. One factor in achievement is the involvement of parents in the school environment, as research suggests a strong correlation between highly active parents at schools and high levels of achievement in children. Other studies indicate that Latino parents are less likely to be active participants in schools than their counterparts in other ethnic groups. These low rates of involvement are often attributed to chronic socioeconomic difficulties Latino communities encounter in the U.S., regardless of geography. This study hypothesizes that geography is a factor in the rates of school-based parental involvement among Latinos, specifically in terms of the distribution of these communities throughout the city of Los Angeles. The question motivating this research is whether or not rates of parental involvement for Latinos are related to the density of the Latino population in a given neighborhood. To pursue this ix question, rates of involvement among Latino parents in elementary schools of the Los Angeles Unified School District were examined, with a focus on neighborhoods where Latinos were the overwhelming majority, a clear minority, or an intermediate population. The results indicate the possibility of a specific geographic component to Latino parental involvement in elementary schools. There were higher rates of involvement among Latino parents when they were a clear minority or intermediate population compared to when they were an overwhelming majority. While this is an exploratory investigation, the findings indicate compelling geographic patterns worthy of expanded study.

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!

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.

Abstract: Research indicates that parental involvement in their children's education is beneficial to children, families, schools, and communities. Some research has suggested that Latinos may be less involved in their children's education, especially on school campuses, while other studies have found that Latinos are involved in their children's education in different, less traditional ways. This study investigated the relationships among mental health, family factors, and parental involvement in children's education among 43 Latina mothers of elementary school children. The findings suggested somewhat low involvement in their children's education but the most involvement occurred in home-related activities. These women showed little indication of stress and depression and these items were not significantly related to their involvement. Mothers' age and number of children were negatively related to some types of parental involvement while length of time in the United States was somewhat positively related to involvement in school-site activities. Implications for social work practice and future research are discussed.
