Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family-school relations and parental involvement in education have been identified as ways to close the gaps in achievement (Hill & Tyson, 2009), and there is considerable evidence that they positively impact academic success for most students (Henderson & Berla, 1994). Improvements in student achievement occur regardless of racial or cultural background (Flaxman & Inger, 1991). Given that the language barrier, cultural differences, and lack of knowledge about the education system (Valdes, 1996) are some of the factors that prevent Latino Spanish speaking parents in participating in the education of their children, the purpose of this graduate project is to reduce such barriers by promoting a collaborative family-school relationship. In order to achieve this, literature regarding this topic was examined and taken into consideration to create a series of four workshops for Spanish-speaking parents with information regarding how parental involvement can be impacted through communication technology, family environment, parenting styles, and early college planning. The workshops will focus on providing Spanish-speaking parents with significant information about secondary education that supports both student and family.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: The face of America's school is changing bringing in students from all over the world, predominantly Spanish speaking students from Mexico and Central and South America. Parents of these students are trying to balance the various challenges that moving to a new country can bring, including fostering success in school for their children. Oftentimes, their jobs, their immigration status, or their lack of education prevent them from speaking out and sharing their experiences. Many of these families are in areas of the country where immigration issues are relatively new. Unfortunately, statistics on academic achievement and drop-out rates for these Latino students are alarming. The educational community must create opportunities for these parents and students to experience academic success. Critical race theory encourages storytelling from the perspective of the less heard. Furthermore critical pedagogy encourages dialogue and an understanding of context and life experiences as educators prepare the young men and women for their future. This qualitative case study using an ethnographic design, set in a large, urban school district in Georgia provided Latino parents of elementary school children, a platform to share their perspectives on parental involvement in school and at home, its impact, and its barriers and facilitators. Using participants from the schools, the researcher conducted interviews and focus group meetings. The researcher found that parents, in spite of barriers that may exist, want their children to experience the American dream. They were prepared to do whatever it takes to help their children and remained hopeful for their future. The researcher provided insight for the educational community in the selected Georgia district as well as those that are similar on how to collaborate with Latino families to foster success for all students.

Book excerpt: Purpose: The purpose of this systematic literature review is to gather information regarding the barriers and interventions Latino parents face in regards to their involvement in their children's schools with a focus on interventions. Methods: The terms Latino parental involvement in schools and variations are utilized to search data bases and compile studies that implemented effective interventions for Latino parental involvement in schools. The results include various interventions including programs implemented in order to increase parental involvement and the effectiveness of those programs. In discussion, there continues to be a need for additional strategies and programs to engage Latino parents. Overall, there are many strategies and programs analyzed in this literature review that can be implemented as there needs to be more communication from schools with Latino parents as well as more resources provided to them.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore experiences and culturally appropriate practices of Latino parents0́9 participation in the public school system. The study also explored school staff perceptions and actions toward Latino parents' school involvement. The study's exploration rests on Epstein (2001) theoretical framework of parent-school involvement. Focus group data were collected in Spanish from 37 Latino parents of students enrolled in six K-12 public schools with at least 11% Latino student's enrollment in eastern North Carolina. Individual interviews were conducted with 11 school officials from three different public schools. Data were transcribed, analyzed (Creswell & Creswell, 2018) and entered into NVIVO version 12 for formal coding. Three major themes emerged from parent data: inadequate communication, low Latino representation, and need for cultural competency. Also, three themes emerged from school staff data: inadequate communication, engagement of county school system, and parental involvement. Suggested strategies to improve the parent/teacher relationship and promote parental involvement in the public school were more trained interpreters, translated materials in Spanish, Latino parent committee, and welcoming environment. Both school staff and parents expressed the need for Latino cultural awareness. School staff expressed the need for Latino parents' active engagement in school events, parent teacher conference, and reaching out to teachers to discuss children school needs. These results have implications toward bridging the gap between Latino parents and public schools.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 104 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

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: The purpose of this qualitative case study is to examine the involvement of Latino parents of elementary English language learner students with distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. This case study explored Latino parental involvement, in order to help further understand the inequities for Latinos with distance learning and examine how parents understand involvement in their children's education. This qualitative case study utilized sixteen semi-structured parent interviews, two teacher focus groups with a total of eight teachers, and one administrator interview, in order to determine the emerging themes and patterns. Teacher participants in this study possessed between six and fourteen years of teaching experience and are currently teaching classes in 1st grade and 4th grade. The administrator participant possessed 27 years of experience in education. This study was conducted based on the Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Latino Critical Theory (LatCrit) as conceptual frameworks that offer a way to analyze parental involvement and develop more culturally relevant practices using a social justice lens. Implications for social change include knowledge useful for administrators, teachers, parents, and other researchers who desire direction in improving Latino parental involvement and increasing student achievement.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to federal mandates, Title I schools now are being asked to implement parent involvement programs that meaningfully involve parents in the schools to increase academic gains. This action research study was based on three different concepts from the literature: a) critical pedagogy theory from Paulo Freire, b) parent involvement from diverse scholars including Epstein, Olivos, Mapp, Henderson, and Gonzalez-DeHass, and c) Wenger's communities of practice approach. The study was designed to determine whether a community of practice approach could provide the necessary conditions to meaningfully involve Latino Spanish-speaking parents in school. This innovation took place for 14-weeks, during which the community of practice approach was developed and utilized during meetings. Data were collected during each community of practice meeting at two schools. The data sources were surveys, audio video transcriptions of the meetings, journal, field notes, leadership meetings, and analytic memos. To add reliability and validity, mixed methods were applied to triangulate the data sources. Results indicated that through a community of practice approach Latino Spanish-speaking parents could become meaningfully involved in their children's schools. Parent participants reported that the community of practice allowed them to dialogue, contribute, learn, reflect, and become self-aware of their role in the schools. Data also showed that parent participants applied the community of practice approach to contribute to the solution of problems at their school. After participating in the study, parent participants realized their potential to impact in their children's school. Additionally, they started purposefully becoming more interested in participating and planning activities with the parent liaison. Based on the results, further cycles of action research are suggested.
