Multicultural Issues

چکیده
It has been argued that Latino children may be at a disadvantage in their early school adjustment due to disparities between the cultural values and goals of Latino families and those emphasized in U.S. schools (e.g., Delgado-Gaitan, 1994; Goldenberg & Gallimore, 1995). The purpose of the present study was to compare the cultural values and goals of Mexican-origin parents and their children’s Head Start teachers of the same ethnicity. The impact of parent-teacher value discrepancies on children’s preschool outcomes was also examined.
