Lack of consistent parental involvement in the education of children is a problem that affects parents, students, and schools from all socioeconomic levels and cultural backgrounds. However, many African Americans seem to experience a significant degree of difficulty knowing how to initiate, develop, and maintain the interactions that help their children succeed and participate successfully within the school (Irvine, 1990; Lightfoot, 1978).

520 $a Lack of consistent parental involvement in the education of children is a problem that affects parents, students, and schools from all socioeconomic levels and cultural backgrounds. However, many African Americans seem to experience a significant degree of difficulty knowing how to initiate, develop, and maintain the interactions that help their children succeed and participate successfully within the school (Irvine, 1990; Lightfoot, 1978).
520 $a Purpose of the study. The purpose of this study was to examine African American parents' perceptions about their involvement in their neighborhood school and their perceptions of an individualized involvement process. An individualized involvement process was based upon the Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) of Public Law 99-457, preschool special education legislation. This study also explored the perceptions of white parents and teachers and compared perceptions of both parent groups with those of teachers regarding parent involvement.
520 $a Methods and procedures. Phase One of the study used naturalist inquiry to gather information about parent involvement experiences: face-to-face interviews, participant observations, and noninteractive methods such as examination of school improvement plans and demographic data compiled by others.
520 $a Phase Two employed descriptive survey methods by using a self-report three part survey as the data gathering instrument. The subject group consisted of 160 parents and 30 teachers from the same school for the 1995-96 school year. The data from both phases provided a composite description of respondent characteristics and generated an overall picture of the responses to the survey. Individual group analysis and comparisons between the groups was made using percentages, frequencies, and Chi square calculations.
520 $a Findings. Results of this study will add to the body of knowledge concerning African American parents' involvement in their children's education and the need for the recognition of parents as individuals. Specifically, the results lead to recommendations for (1) an examination of the existing parent involvement practices, activities, and opportunities at the neighborhood school to define what currently exists; (2) establishment of a written parent/family involvement policy for the individual school; (3) an experimental study of a written plan for parent involvement at a school site; and (4) an ongoing parent and school needs assessment process.
