Description
There has been extensive research on the positive impact family involvement has on
student outcomes in education. Despite this positive correlation, many Latino parents are not involved in their children’s educational journey. This is particularly true as they transition from high school to college. The lack of involvement is due to various reasons, including language barriers, work and family obligations, and the lack of knowledge of educational systems. This phenomenological study explores knowledge gaps Latino parents may have regarding the college process from beginning to end in the Greater Houston region. The study describes lived experiences of Latino parents with children who have attended or are attending college. It also shares how college administrators in the area are engaging Latino parents at their college. A bilingual guide was created about the college process through information gathered in interviews conducted with both parents and college administrators. This guide will serve as a resource for parents, colleges, and others who engage with Latino families. |
