Abstract	This paper explores the links between student achievement and parent involvement, the importance of continuity between home and school, three philosophies underlying parent programs, and effective practices in parent involvement. The three philosophies considered are those of school-to-home transmission, interactive learning, and partnership for school success. The investigation of these philosophies reveals that the dominant approach used to enhance student achievement is school-to-home transmission of values and skills. The interactive transmission approach is identified as having particular promise when discontinuities between home and school disrupted student learning. The home-school partnership model seems to offer the most promise for bringing school achievement levels of low-income and minority children to those expected for middle-class students. Epstein's (1988) typology of types of parent involvement is used to outline examples of effective practice in each area. It is maintained that community linkages provide a promising direction for expanding the resources offered to children, families, schools, and community organizations. Barriers to effective parent involvement programs and the role of parent involvement in governance and advocacy are also discussed. (RH)
