Bridging Cultures Between Home and School: A Guide for Teachers is
intended to stimulate broad thinking about how to meet the
challenges of education in a pluralistic society. It is a powerful
resource for in-service and preservice multicultural education and
professional development. The Guide presents a framework for
understanding differences and conflicts that arise in situations
where school culture is more individualistic than the value system
of the home. It shares what researchers and teachers of the
Bridging Cultures Project have learned from the experimentation of
teacher-researchers in their own classrooms of largely immigrant
Latino students and explores other research on promoting improved
home-school relationships across cultures. The framework leads to
specific suggestions for supporting teachers to cross-cultural
communication; organization parent-teacher conferences that work;
use strategies that increase parent involvement in schooling;
increase their skills as researchers; and employ ethnographic
techniques to learn about home cultures. Although the research
underlying the Bridging Cultures Project and this Guide focuses on
immigrant Latino families, since this is the primary population
with which the framework was originally used, it is a potent tool
for learning about other cultures as well because many face similar
discrepancies between their own more collectivistic approaches to
childrearing and schooling and the more individualistic approach of
the dominant culture.
