Abstract:
discuss related themes and lessons from a 3-yr [longitudinal] study of home–school relations in 2 desegregated elementary schools, including the perspectives of Hmong, Latino, and African American families and their children's teachers / going beyond a cultural continuity/discontinuity model, this chapter raises a number of methodological issues and argues in support of viewing such families as at promise, rather than at risk for failure, in the schools studied / some of the challenges and dilemmas of encouraging teachers to hold such a view of children and families are also discussed (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: introduction)
