  In Roundtable Session: The Effect of Social Support for Academic Achievement in Urban Education

Abstract

In this paper, the authors analyze the evolution of educational advocacy standards that illustrate what parents need to know and do to effectively support their children’s learning in 6th-12th grade. Our analysis includes a discussion of how the language used to convey these standards can either build or breakdown communication essential to distributing critical information to working, immigrant parents.
