The student version of a learning module for teacher training in bilingual education is one of three focusing on promoting parent participation in the school system, and concentrates specifically on the role of parents as counselors and co-participants in decisionmaking. An introductory section discussing the overall objectives of the materials is followed by two units, each consisting of several readings with self-testing materials and suggested activities. The readings concern such topics as minority group involvement in education, the parent role in education, compensatory education in educational planning, parent-teacher conferences, current understanding of the advantages to students of parent involvement, parent participation in bilingual programs, federal requirements regarding participation, pressure groups, and the Chicago parent leadership training program. Lists of information sources, relevant ERIC document abstracts, and selected bibliographies are also included. (MSE)
