Caswell County Training School, 1933-1969: Relationships between Community and School.

Walker, Emilie V. Siddle

Harvard Educational Review, v63 n2 p161-82 Sum 1993

The history of the Caswell County (North Carolina) Training School, a segregated African-American school, shows that the community and school supported each other in ways that do not fit current definitions of parent involvement. Adopting some of the methods of the Caswell School might help today's African-American parents and schools improve relations and their perceptions of each other. (SK)
