After the author's first semester teaching at the
university, she began to ponder the lack of emphasis
placed on the relationships among school, community and
home within her students' practicum experience. Through
lectures, readings, and audio visuals, the author shared
the importance of including parents in the educational
decision making process and in honoring their voices, but
she was not giving the preservice teachers a chance to
dialog with parents themselves. Because the preservice
teachers only "read about" but did not "talk with"
parents, they only had minimal understanding of the
powerful role that parents play in their children's
education. While reading theoretical literature is
necessary, the lack of field-based experiences exploring
the out-of-school lives of children often pushes
preservice teachers to question the validity of involving
the parents in conversation. This is especially true for
Anglo American middle-class preservice teachers (Wolf,
Hill, & Ballentine, 2000). In this paper the author shows
the impact that preservice teachers' participation in
home visits had on their view of home-school-community
relationship. Next, she presents the theoretical
framework. Then she briefly introduces the participants
and describe the revised classes and the year-long
assignment which was key in supporting preservice
teachers' growth in understanding the importance of
knowing the students' families. (Contains 1 note.)
