DEVELOPING EDUCATIONAL LEADERS: A Working Model: The Learning Community in Action Book

Families, Schools, and Communities: Building Partnership for Educating Children, 5th Edition is a book that I borrowed from a friend that used it as a college text. I read the chapters on Family Diversity, Roles and Experiences of Parents and Establishing and Maintaining Collaborative Relationships completely and the rest of the book I read parts of each chapter to help me with building better parent relations of the children that I teach. I found the book a good refresher and found several new ideas and different prospective of looking at building relationships with parents to help my students. This not a novel but a good reference book for teacher's and a college students entering teaching. It is written with the college student in mind but worked fine as a refresher for me, as an experienced teacher.
