Although research suggests a strong positive association between parental involvement and children’s educational outcomes, few studies have examined parental involvement at home with children who attend charter schools, especially with small immigrant groups such as the Hmong. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine how Hmong parents of students in charter schools were involved in their children’s education at home and what barriers they faced.

This study’s purpose was to determine if a teacher home visit program implemented by a Texas-based charter school system resulted in differences in K–12 students’ classroom behavior, academic achievement, and parent involvement in school. Study findings indicate positive behavioral, academic, and parent involvement outcomes for students who received a home visit (n = 3,681), compared to a similar group of students who did not receive a home visit (n = 3,681).
