Book excerpt: Earlier research revealed that urban school districts with large Hmong populations used established parent involvement strategies that focused on middle class and mainstream protocols. Furthermore, research hypothesized that parents in school communities with low-socio economic status and limited English capabilities within unique social construct groups may not have aligned their commitment preference with the obligation-centered partnership model used by many mainstream schools. Studies of Hmong parent involvement indicated a lack of effectiveness and unexplored areas regarding unique preferences in terms of involvement with schools. This quantitative, mean difference, social value study attempted to determine whether Hmong parents with K-12 children in the Twin Cities have different preferences regarding involvement in school activities than non-Hmong parents. The study concluded that Hmong parent involvement commitment was more influenced by a cultural familiarity of school climate than transactional or obligation social value factors. Strong relationships and trust of people or individuals at their children's school were more critical and influential in motivating Hmong parents to commit more parent involvement effort.
