Book excerpt: "The subject of parental involvement has been an ongoing topic of discussion in the education system for many years. With recent educational reforms that have a primary focus on achievement gap, there is a new urgency to find solutions to ensure academic success for all students. For African American families, parental involvement is done in a way that is different than the recognized method of most traditional school districts. The recognition of home-based involvement, as opposed to school-based involvement, has opened the doors to a new opportunity to engage parents in a way that is typical for specific cultures. African American children in foster care, however, face unique challenges. Not only are they members of a culture that practice a traditionally unrecognized method of parent involvement, they are also missing the essential parent element that should be there working toward their success. The effects of the lack of parental involvement for these students are detrimental to their academic achievement. There is a need to find effective and long-term solutions for these students, and it must begin with the collaborative effort of schools, child welfare agencies, and community organizations."--leaf 4.
