Studied connections
between parent involvement programs, teachers' attitudes, and teachers'
practices in inner-city elementary and middle schools. Examined
patterns according to academic subject, classroom organization,
and level of support for parent involvement. Found that each variable
has implications for the strengths of school programs and teachers'
practices. (BC)
