Frederik Smit, Geert Driessen & Peter Sleegers (2001). Relationships between parents of ethnic minority children, schools and supporting institutions in the local community - some ideas for the future. Paper European Research Network About Parents in Education (ERNAPE), Rotterdam, the Netherlands, November 22-23, 2001. In F. Smit, K. van der Wolf & P. Sleegers (Eds.), A bridge to the future. Collaboration between parents, schools and communities (pp. 255-258). Nijmegen: ITS.
Inspired by the ecological model of Bronfenbrenner (1986) researchers emphasize the cooperation and complementarity of schools and families, and encourage communication and collaboration between these two institutions (Deslandes, 2001). In the Netherlands, schools become convinced that good partnerships between parents and communities are necessary in behalf of the optimization of the students’ developmental opportunities, the enhancement of the students’ educational careers and the improvement of the teachers’ task performance (Smit 1991; Smit, Doesborgh &Van Kessel, 2000). The last few years have shown an increasing tendency for middle class parents to wish to get more involved in their children’s experiences during classes and their children’s learning at home. Parents from lower classes and from ethnic minorities tend to be less involved in their children’s education (Chavkin, 1993; Driessen & Valkenberg, 2000). On the other hand: many parents form higher classes consider schooling to be too important to leave it to professionals only (Klaassen & Smit, 2001).
