Just as the methodologies vary, depending on the needs of the students, the terms used to refer to them differ from state to state. The chart below lists the most frequently used terms to describe the types of support available for LEP students. In this interview, Professor Santiago is using the term ESL in its generic meaning to refer to linguistically diverse students whose primary language is not English, and who are in the process of developing their English proficiency.

A good way to start gaining support from fathers, said speaker Renata Witte, is making a father's school visit a comfortable one. Unfortunately, said Witte, many fathers only visit a school when their child is having a discipline problem. To get rid of these negative associations fathers may have about going to their child's school, Witte suggested giving dads a warm greeting and showing them around the school on their first visits.

Education and Parental Involvement in Secondary Schools: Problems, Solutions, and Effects Jeri LaBahn Source: LaBahn, J. (1995). Education and parental involvement in secondary schools: Problems, solutions, and effects. Educational Psychology Interactive . Valdosta, GA: Valdosta State University. Available online: [http://chiron.valdosta.edu/whuitt/files/parinvol.html] Return to: Readings in Educational Psychology Educational Psychology Interactive Abstract Parental involvement is a combination of commitment and active participation on the part of the parent to the school and to the student. There are many problems concerned with involvement. Many secondary schools simply do not know how to deal with the nontraditional family and the areas of concern that it represents. Parents feel unwelcomed at school, lack knowledge and education, and may not feel that education is important. The number of solutions that can be used to improve parental involvement are substantial. The most important of these, however, is for the principal of the school to be totally committed. When these solutions are implemented the effects are great, especially for the student. Improved student achievement is the key objective.
