Abstract

The Hoover-Dempsey et al. (2005) model of parents’ involvement in their children's schools has recently been applied to Latino immigrant families. This article reviews that literature and then describes culturally appropriate strategies for school counselors to work with this population, focusing on (a) teacher and counselor invitations to the family, (b) parent or partnership-focused role construction, and (c) flexible formats for involvement that respect families with limited time. The article includes a sample Latino Family Night program.

  • Latino migrant parental involvement with children's education increases student initiative and is critical to both family-school relationships and academic improvement.

    “Gonzalez, Borders, Hines, Villalba, and Henderson (2013) wrote in their review that Latino migrant parental involvement with children’s education increases student initiative and is critical to both family-school relationships and academic improvement.”

    From Differences of Mean Scores on the Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test (PSAT) for Classical Christian Schools Compared to Non-Classical Christian Schools (2019) · cites this paper as Gonzalez, Borders, Hines, Villalba, and Henderson (2013)

    The passage labeled Abstract (page unavailable) links parental involvement with student motivation, grades, and achievement, and discusses family–school relations. It reports positive associations, however, rather than showing that Latino immigrant parental involvement increases student initiative; it also does not establish that involvement is critical to family–school relationships.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
