School, Family, and Community Partnerships: Your Handbook for Action

This book offers a research-based framework of six types of involvement that guides state and district leaders, school principals, teachers, parents, and community partners to form Action Teams for Partnerships, and to plan, implement, evaluate, and continually improve family and community involvement for student success. New insights include how to: involve the community;
organize more effective Action Teams for Partnerships;
strengthen partnership programs in middle and high schools;
implement interactive homework; organize successful volunteers in the middle grades; and conduct state and district leadership activities to help schools develop partnership programs. It's a valuable and time-tested set of tools for building comprehensive, inclusive, goal-oriented, and permanent programs of partnership.
