This article explores the connections between adult education participation and parent involvement in children's education--connections identified during an exploratory case study of parents transitioning into the workforce in compliance with welfare requirements. Data sources included interviews with parents, adult educators, and elementary school staff; field notes; and documents. Parents applied the knowledge and experiences acquired through adult education classes to help children with homework and to model and communicate expectations. Parents drew on course-based social networks to access resources and information about the schools. Finally, adult education participation was perceived to strengthen parents' self-efficacy to support children's education. (Contains 1 table.)
