Over the last two decades, there has been a growing body of research evidence suggesting important benefits to be gained by elementary-age schoolchildren when their parents provide support, encouragement, and direct instruction in the home and school and maintain good communication with the school and related organizations. Involvement is often a new concept to limited-English-proficient (LEP) parents, sometimes interpreted as interference, and may be limited by language proficiency. However, parent-school collaboration at home can be encouraged, and bilingual community liaisons may help bridge cultural and language differences between school and home. Such a program was conducted by the Trinity-Arlington Teacher and Parent Training for School Success Project, using home lessons from the Vocationally-Oriented Bilingual Curriculum (VOBC). Research in both English-proficient and LEP populations shows that parent involvement at home can be highly successful in improving parent knowledge to assist children in improving their attendance and behavior, as well as achievement levels. Development of parent involvement programs should begin with the training of school personnel in establishing home-school collaboration with LEP parents', the effort should also include a member of the parents' language community who can serve as the bilingual community liaison.
