Family Perspectives On Home-School Connections And Family Engagement

Focusing on the experiences of four middle-class Latin American families in U.S. public schools, this case study delves into the nuances of school-home connections and family engagement. Through in-depth interviews and observations, it reveals the importance of connectedness for these families while highlighting the complexities of their interactions with schools. By addressing a gap in qualitative research on this demographic, it contributes valuable insights to the literature, framed by critical theory and influenced by the works of Freire and Moll.
