Based on the presentations and discussions from a national
symposium on family-school links held at the Pennsylvania State
University, this volume brings together psychologists,
sociologists, educators, and policymakers studying the
bidirectional effects between schools and families. This topic --
the links between families and schools, and how these affect
children's educational achievement -- encompasses a host of
questions, each of key social and educational significance. * How
far does parental involvement in schools affect children's
experiences and achievement at school? * What explains the great
differences between schools, families, and communities in the
extent of such involvement? * Are these differences a matter of
school practices, or do they reflect much broader social and
cultural divisions? * What is the nature of the impact schools have
on children and their families? * How can
family-school-partnerships be fostered in a way that helps
children? The chapter authors consider these questions and related
issues, present different perspectives, highlight various aspects
of the issues, and suggest widely differing answers. This volume's
goal is to provide the reader with current information on what is
known about family-school-community links, and to provoke new ways
of thinking about these links and their implications for children's
education and well-being.
