African-American parents have many positive attributes and resources that differ from school-centric definitions of parent involvement, such as: supportive people in their social networks willing to help them with matters pertaining to their children’s education; advocacy by individuals from churches and community groups for their children; childcare for siblings by friends and agencies while visiting the school; adults in their community willing to support them psychologically; assistance in obtaining educational books, resources, and school supplies; access to supplemental educational activities based outside of their children’s school in the communities in which they reside; and medical and mental health services in their communities.
