“You look at children who are successful in school, and you see parents that are involved.” Until PALMS, there was very little Latino parent involvement. What Research Says
The activities of the PALMS Parent Outreach Study were guided by a large body of literature concerning the role that Latino parents can play in their children’s education. We focused, whenever possible, specifically on the actions that Latino parents can take to increase their children’s chances of continuing their education beyond high school. The research cited in this section informed our work during key phases, and it bears important implications for the practice of secondary school leaders and college access professionals.
