description Research suggests that community-referenced pedagogy initiatives foster academic inclusion for minority students. However, we know little about such engagements' benefits for teachers. This study provides insights into teachers' dispositions toward school-based parent involvement in education based on ethnographic data collected through participant observation and sequenced, scheduled interviews and follow-up conversations with 3 key teacher respondents. Results demonstrate respondents' convergences regarding these engagements' “value-added” dimensions for the “other.” Teachers acknowledged benefits related to curriculum orientation for parents, opening lines of communication, building community, linguistic diversity as a resource, and parent advocacy. Although respondents converged on “value added” for self, they placed different emphases on this value's dimensions.
