In conducting this study, the Institute examined: Latino parents’ perceptions of their participation in the education of their children;
Schools’ and teachers’ expectations of parental involvement;
Programmatic initiatives addressing parental involvement in education; and Latino students’ perceptions of the role of parental involvement in their education.
