| Sumario: | This article is an effort to broaden our understanding of the ways in which schools can foster family trust in an intercultural context. In schools with diversity, misconceptions between schools and families, especially immigrant ones, regarding the behavior, responsibilities, roles and the expectations of family involvement, can cause mistrust. Research in Spain has indicated the problematic relationship between immigrant families and the school as well as lack of social cohesion between immigrant and native families that can result of this in highly diverse schools (Garreta, 2008, 2009; Carrasco et al., 2009). Based on the fieldwork in five public primary schools in the city of Barcelona and in-depth interviews with education professionals and parent association representatives, I summarize their views on immigrant family-school relations and provide recommendations for enhancing school family relations and trust in an intercultural context. |
