WVSThe European Values Study (EVS) and World Values Survey (WVS) series were designed to enable a cross-national, cross-cultural comparison of values and norms on a wide variety of topics and to monitor changes in values and attitudes across the globe. The EVS/WVS provides data from representative national surveys in 97 societies containing almost 90 per cent of the world's population. These surveys show pervasive changes in what people want out of life and what they believe. In order to monitor these changes, the EVS/WVS has executed five waves of surveys, from 1981 to 2007. Representative national samples of each society's public are interviewed, using a standardised questionnaire that covers a full range of social, economic, cultural and religious topic areas. The countries included in these surveys cover the full range from very poor countries to very rich ones, from authoritarian systems to liberal democracies and covering all major cultural zones. Further information about the each survey series can be found on the EVS and WVS web sites and the ESDS International European and World Values Survey web page. The World Values Survey: Waves 1-5, 1981-2008 contains the survey data from the five waves of the WVS. The survey responses have now been integrated into one dataset, to facilitate time series analysis. The date file covers 87 societies and includes more than 256,000 interviews.

Stakeholders' perceptions of parental involvement and home-school connections in a South Texas border townLatinos have a high amount of individuals residing in poverty, and, yet, are still the fastest growing minority group in the nation (Gandara & Contreras, 2009; National Council of La Raza, 2014). For some families, living in poverty and the need to earn a living prevents parents from being actively involved in their children’s education (Moreno & Gaytan, 2013). Therefore, the need to form alliances with parents is critical. Partnerships with parents must be formed to better understand the necessities of these children. Consequently, educators should convey to parents the significance of forming links between the home and school. Moreover, the purpose of this qualitative study was to investigate the current implementation of the funds of knowledge (Moll, et al., 1992) and community cultural wealth (Yosso, 2005) that exist within Latino families along the Texas-Mexico border to facilitate partnerships between home and school. Data was collected over a timeframe of twenty-three weeks. The research study was comprised of: semi-structured, face to face interviews; questionnaires; observations; and document analysis. A two phase data analysis process was utilized. Data analysis consisted of transcribing interview content, open-coding to identify trends among the interviewees’ responses, an examination of field notes, and an evaluation of the data to identify commonalities, categories, and patterns. Validity was established through the triangulation of the data sources. The results of the study suggest the emergence of four themes: stakeholders’ responsibilities, the types of support available to students, the existence of cultural values, and the prevalence of community connections. Discussion of each theme and subtheme is provided. Furthermore, responses to the research questions and correlations to community cultural wealth (Yosso, 2005) and funds of knowledge (Moll, et al., 1992) are delineated. Implications for educators, educator preparation programs, and parents are noted. The limitations of the study are also documented. Recommendations for future research are included in the research study.
