The Role of Parent Participation.
Fruchter, Norm
Social Policy, v15 n2 p32-36 Fall 1984
Discusses the barriers to effective parental participation in schools: (1) economic survival pressures; (2) control of participatory structures by school personnel; (3) cultural distance between school and community; (4) parental uncertainty about responsibility for failure; and (5) parental lack of clarity about improvement. Also discusses mechanisms for surmounting these barriers with reference to Ron Edmonds's school effectiveness factors. (RDN)
