Creating Programs to Help Latino Youth Thrive at School: The Influence of Latino Parent Involvement Programs
Behnke, Andrew O.; Kelly, Christine
Journal of Extension, v49 n1 Article 1FEA7 Feb 2011
Parent involvement programs can play an essential role in the academic success of Latino youth. This article reports the effectiveness and evaluation of two new Extension programs that help Latino parents become more involved in their youths' academics. The Latino Parent and Family Advocacy and Support Training (LPFAST) targets parents of K- 8th grade students, and the Juntos Para Una Mejor Educacion (Together for a Better Education) program was created to serve 6th-12th grade Latino students and their parents. These two programs demonstrate innovative approaches to involve communities and schools in Extension programming. (Contains 2 tables.)
