Examined early
childhood teachers' attitudes toward families and their involvement
with schools. Found that teachers' attitudes about family and community
involvement were highly positive, African American teachers had
a more positive attitude than European American teachers, and teachers
of low ability students had less positive views of family strengths
than those of higher ability students. (SD)
