Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Latino community has been characterized by low high school graduation rates, low college completion rates and substandard schooling conditions. As schools and policymakers seek to improve the educational conditions of Latinos, parental influence in the form of school involvement is assumed to play some role in shaping students' educational experiences. Despite this national interest in parental involvement, little research has been conducted on what constitutes parental involvement in the middle and high school years. Additionally, stakeholders hold diverse definitions of parental involvement, and little attention has been paid to how Latino parents, specifically, define parental involvement. The growing national interest in parental involvement and lack of research on Latino perceptions on the issue motivated the Tomas Rivera Policy Institute (TRPI) to examine what constitutes parental involvement for schools, Latino students, and Latino parents. In conducting this study, the Institute examined: (1) Latino parents' perceptions of their participation in the education of their children; (2) Schools' and teachers' expectations of parental involvement; (3) Programmatic initiatives addressing parental involvement in education; and (4) Latino students' perceptions of the role of parental involvement in their education. Findings indicate that divergent definitions and perceptions of parental involvement in education exist among different stakeholders and that schools lack clear organizational goals and objectives on how best to involve parents in the schools. These insights can inform discussions about how schools can best acknowledge, encourage, and increase parental involvement in schools. School administrators, school board members, corporate school partners, policymakers, outreach programs, parent leaders, and teachers may find study results useful as they seek to increase parental involvement in schools. A list of resources for further reading is included.(Contains 4 footnotes and 2 tables.).

This book was released on 2006-02-23 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hispanics and the Future of America presents details of the complex story of a population that varies in many dimensions, including national origin, immigration status, and generation. The papers in this volume draw on a wide variety of data sources to describe the contours of this population, from the perspectives of history, demography, geography, education, family, employment, economic well-being, health, and political engagement. They provide a rich source of information for researchers, policy makers, and others who want to better understand the fast-growing and diverse population that we call "Hispanic." The current period is a critical one for getting a better understanding of how Hispanics are being shaped by the U.S. experience. This will, in turn, affect the United States and the contours of the Hispanic future remain uncertain. The uncertainties include such issues as whether Hispanics, especially immigrants, improve their educational attainment and fluency in English and thereby improve their economic position; whether growing numbers of foreign-born Hispanics become citizens and achieve empowerment at the ballot box and through elected office; whether impending health problems are successfully averted; and whether Hispanics' geographic dispersal accelerates their spatial and social integration. The papers in this volume provide invaluable information to explore these issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can teachers of Latino English language learners actively engage their students' families in helping ELLs succeed in school? In this powerful book, David Campos, Rocio Delgado, and Mary Esther Soto Huerta provide guidance and resources to help teachers communicate and collaborate with the families of Latino ELLs. Reaching Out to Latino Families of English Language Learners includes practical tips and tools, including reproducible form letters in English and Spanish, that can help teachers solicit valuable information about students from their families, extend families' knowledge of how U.S. schools operate, and provide families with ideas for helping students with their schoolwork at home. In addition, the authors * Offer information on aspects of Latino culture relevant to student learning; * Provide lists of websites and books on Latino culture and of Latino-themed children's books for use with students; and * Outline a framework that educators can use to create a "campus task force" for engaging Latino families in student learning. The more families of Latino ELLs learn about the curriculum, policies, and procedures of their children's schools, the more comfortable they will be collaborating with teachers. Likewise, the more educators learn about their students' backgrounds, the better able they will be to help them in the classroom. This complete resource will enable educators to work diligently and harmoniously with students' families in the service of what really matters: the academic success of Latino students.

Download or read book Why and How Do Latino Parents Get Involved in Their Children's Education? A Test of Hoover-Dempsey and Sandler's Model with Middle School Parents in a Community School written by Anne Marie FitzGerald and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study used qualitative interviews to explore and describe the perceptions of Latino and Puerto Rican parents in a community middle school about if, why, and how Latino families decide to engage in their children's schooling. All 15 Latino parents perceived that they held or shared responsibility with the school for their child's educational success (parent or partnership-focused). Parents reported involvement despite their perceptions of low levels of knowledge and skills, and/or time and energy. Parents responded to school, teacher, and student invitations for involvement; however, no parent described the school as a community school and few parents reported teacher invitations. Parents reported much more home-based involvement than school-based involvement. All parents reported talking to their children in ways that communicated values, goals, expectations, or aspirations, yet only one parent reported planning for post-secondary education. Implications for further research with Latino parents and school practice are presented.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation centered on the relation between perceived parental support for college attendance and students' postsecondary educational aspirations and enrollment intentions. A particular focus of the examination was on the distinction between behavioral-based and non-behavioral-based forms of parental support (labeled interventionist and noninterventionist forms of support, respectively). Three hundred and thirty-seven twelfth grade Latino students who participated in the Puente Program--a research-based college preparation program--were surveyed twice during their senior year in high school. In the first survey, students indicated their own educational aspirations and expectations as well as their perceptions of their parents' aspirations for their education. They also specified their perceptions of parental support along various dimensions. When surveyed again at the culmination of their senior year, students reported on college preparatory actions taken and post-high school plans. The results of an exploratory factor analysis suggest that perceived parental support for college represents the expression of four distinct underlying dimensions, a more differentiated version of the two types of perceived support initially hypothesized. The factors labeled Broad Intervention and Intervention College Admissions correspond to the anticipated interventionist construct as they encompass survey items that assessed behavioral-based support. The factors labeled Nonintervention Purpose and Nonintervention Encourage are aligned with the anticipated noninterventionist construct as all the items within these subscales referred to non-behavioral motivational input. Investigation of the factors associated with various dimensions of support revealed that low-income, less educated Latino parents were less likely to support their children by interventionist means. Parents born outside of the United States were more likely to provide motivational encouragement intended to convey messages about the purpose of college (i.e., Nonintervention Purpose). Student characteristics in middle school were not significantly related to parenting styles of support provision. Results further indicate that there was a direct significant association between perceptions of overall support and acceptance to a four-year college; parents' propensity to offer Intervention College Admissions support varied significantly across aspiration categories; and parents' propensity to offer Intervention College Admissions support was significantly related to whether or not students were accepted into four-year colleges. Finally, participants in the present study were found to report higher educational plans/expectations and perceived parental aspirations than Latino students from the western region of the United States who participated in the Educational Longitudinal Study of 2002. Findings from the present study reinforce the connection between parental support and both aspirations and college acceptance. Results suggest that bolstering parent support through the curricula of college preparation programs is central to programmatic success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Communication between parents and school personnel plays a significant role in student achievement. Spanish-speaking parents are rather hesitant to seek assistance from their child's school as cultural and language barriers have created a mindset that they are not supported, understood, or valued. Key stakeholders in education therefore need to acquire a clearer understanding of the Latino culture in a dire effort to better serve Hispanic students in high school and their families. This study examined the perceptions of first-generation Latino parents of high school students while identifying parental needs to improve their child's college readiness upon completion of high school. It also investigated high school graduation rates and student dropout rates across the United States as well as effective and efficient ways in which the school can enhance the provision of school-related resources to their students. There is wide consensus that parental involvement (including home-based involvement, home-school communication, and school-based involvement) is essential for student success. Despite this understanding, there exists a gap in literature regarding the information, resources, and support available to first-generation Latino parents with children in high school. Using a conceptual framework that draws on theories of cultural and social capital, and a qualitative approach that included field notes, focus groups, and interviews, this study investigated the expectations, lived experiences, perceptions, and practices of 29 Latino immigrant parents of high school students in relation to their child's secondary school. The findings of this study, which suggest varying levels of parental involvement, were organized around four themes: aspirations, parental support, school-based knowledge, and student preparation.

Download or read book An Exploratory Study of the Perceptions and Experiences of U.s.-born Latino Parents in a High-poverty Urban School District in Relation to Their Role in the Education of Their Children written by Sylvia Ramirez Reyna and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative interpretive research study was to explore the perceptions and experiences of seven second- and third-generation U.S.-born Latino parents in a high-poverty urban school district in Texas regarding their role in their children0́9s schooling. Specifically, this study was organized to understand what the selected Latino parents perceived as parent involvement, what expectations they had of the school and, conversely, what expectations the school personnel had of them, and finally, what perceptions the parents held about their role in school-parent activities. Though parent involvement is considered to be one of the most important factors in a child0́9s success in school, this study also explored the perceived chasm in the alignment between the school and the home of the U.S.-born Latino family. The interpretative approach and dialogical exchange, through a semi-structured interview process, provided the opportunity to add the voices of second- and third-generation U.S.0́3born Latino parents to the current discourse about parent involvement. All of the participants met a general description as a second- or third-generation U.S.-born Latino, whose primary language is English, whose children have been involved in the identified school system for at least five years and were academically successful, and who the school considered to be uninvolved in the schooling process. The data analysis process involved a methodical process of breaking down the information presented in in-depth interview transcripts, observation, field notes, documents, and participant and researcher texts. By using a focused coding technique, patterns or concepts that best represented the participants0́9 voices surfaced. The codes were reviewed and categories or themes were then developed. The parents0́9 voices also provided information suggesting that the perceived lack of participation in the sanctioned school activities by some U.S.0́3born Latino parents stems from an apparent failure on the part of school personnel to recognize the cultural capital and richness of the culturally diverse household. Specifically, through the theoretical framework of funds of knowledge, the stories of the seven second- and third-generation U.S.-born Latinos noted that Latino families have assets that contribute to the academic success of their children, yet they are often dismissed by school personnel.

Download or read book Understanding Perceptions of Latino Parents who Relocate from Low Performing Urban to High Performing Suburban School Districts written by Mary Ellen Janeiro and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the Latino population continues to grow and economic and academic success for this demographic becomes more widespread in the United States, there is and will continue to be a transitioning of students from low performing urban schools to higher performing suburban schools during the course of their K-12 education. How well a suburban school meets the needs of incoming, potentially at-risk students depends on many factors that require educators to be culturally aware and responsive, including the need for Latino students to feel a sense of belonging and value in their new community while not rejecting their own culture (Strobel, Kirshner, O’Donoghue, & McLaughlin, 2008). When Latino students from low performing school districts relocate to high performing school districts, the systems that receive them must be prepared to help these students close any achievement gaps they might arrive with from their prior educational experiences. From a desire to improve their child’s educational opportunities, parents are most commonly the initiators of such a move from one system to another. Yet upon arrival in a new school system, Latino parents are often faced with a new set of challenges in helping their child navigate through unfamiliar cultural and socioeconomic norms and expectations (Marx & Larson, 2012). Given a voice, Latino parents who move their families from a low performing district to a high performing district can serve as powerful allies and advocates as their children acclimate to a new school system (Hornby & Lafaele, 2011). This Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) qualitative study utilized a Critical Race Theory framework to better understand the motivations, perceptions and experiences of Latino parents who relocated from low performing urban to a high performing suburban systems. Major findings included commonalities amongst participants that included being active participants in their children’s academic life, having high levels of expectations and confidence in themselves and their children, encouraging assimilation in the community while maintain pride in ethnicity and family, desiring better communication between home and school, and being aware of but undaunted by economic disparities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family and community involvement are increasingly touted as a means of improving both student and school-level achievement. This has led to an increase in policies, initiatives and goals designed to address family involvement in schools. Once recognized and implemented, such family-school partnerships can lead to the following benefits: enhanced communication and coordination between parents and educators; continuity in developmental goals and approaches across family and school contexts; shared ownership and commitment to educational goals; increased understanding of the complexities of children’s situations; and the pooling of family and school resources to find and implement quality solutions to shared goals.
