Innovative programs for migrant students prove the payoff of making parents partners in classroom learning. This article features "Abriendo Puertas," or Opening Doors, an innovative program developed by Texas A&M University specifically for migrant education. The program emphasizes on literacy, academic success, and--most importantly--parental involvement. The involvement of parents in migrant education serves as important linkage that had been overlooked in most schools with large numbers of migrant students. Through the program, educators in Weslaco Independent School District learned that the key to improvements for migrant school children lay not only within the classrooms, but outside as well--particularly in the relationship between schools and parents.
