Involving LEP Parents.
Garate, Dama; And Others
Four community liaisons for public school programs for limited- English-proficient (LEP) populations discuss briefly aspects of parent involvement. Dama Garate describes the populations served by the Trinity-Arlington Project in the Arlington (Virginia) Public Schools and suggests issues to be considered in parent involvement efforts. Pirun Sen of the Portland (Maine) Public Schools focuses on the kinds of parent involvement and parent contact that have been used there and the problems that have arisen. Hiep Tran Thien and N. D. Duong of the Seattle (Washington) Public Schools look at cross-cultural issues in parent involvement and suggest techniques and strategies to get parents involved. Vilay Chaleunrath outlines major barriers to parent participation and recommends activities for drawing parents into a partnership with the schools. The summary of a response by two specialists is also included. (MSE)
