Indian Parent Involvement in Education: A Basic Source Book.
Biglin, James E.; Pratt, Wayne
The source book is designed for parents of American Indian children. The primary objectives are to provide: basic information on the operation of Federal and public schools; practical suggestions on how parents can become involved; and guidelines for the parents to better prepare their children for educational success. Topics include duties of administrators, school services, funding, curriculum, parent-teacher relationships, parents' role in motivating the child, and a self-help guide for a behavior modification program at home. Also available with this source book are 2 slide/cassette presentations. They are "Help Begins at Home": a presentation designed to provide Indian parents with practical suggestions for preparing their pre-school children for school; and "Passing of the Sun": a presentation which provides information on school operations, administration, and parental involvement.
