520 |a Teacher empowerment and parent participation in school decision making have become dominant themes in the current debate over school restructuring. The literature suggests that as teachers become empowered, they may tend to view parents more as clients of education rather than as partners, thereby introducing a potential conflict into the social interaction of teachers and parents. This study examines the interrelationships between teacher empowerment and parent participation in three different types of schools of choice. Data is drawn from a national sample of six Catholic, four single-focus magnet, and five multi-focus magnet public urban high schools in Chicago (Illinois), Washington, D.C., and Chattanooga (Tennessee). Three models of parent-teacher relations are hypothesized: (1) teacher professionalism; (2) parent empowerment; and (3) dual empowerment or partnership. Findings suggest that Catholic schools are closer to the development of a partnership model than either of the two types of public schools. Multi-focus magnet schools most nearly approximate a parent empowerment model. None of the types approximates a teacher professional model of teacher-parent relations. Six tables and an appendix portray some school characteristics. (Contains 104 references.) (Author/SLD)
