AbstractThis article argues for a multicultural perspective on parent involvement in education through examination of a research study and of a case example. Part 1 reports on an exploratory study of 1,188 black and Hispanic parents that describes the attitudes and practices of minority parents regarding involvement in their children's education. The major study finding was that black and Hispanic parents were concerned about their children's education and wanted an active role in their children's education. Part 2 describes a case example where effective multicultural practices were used to ensure active participation of minority parents in their children's education. School social workers can use their expertise to help schools provide minority parents with a variety of opportunities for involvement in their children's education.
