Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how commonly applied approaches to parent involvement in schools do not easily transfer to bilingual and bicultural families. The authors—respected scholars in the field of educational equity—challenge commonly accepted boundaries of bicultural parent involvement. They provide real-life examples, practical strategies, discussion questions, and suggestions for ensuring that schools welcome and value bicultural families. This timely resource is a hopeful vision of what authentic and democratic parent engagement can become, and how parents can be transformative change agents for their children and their schools.
