Just as populations change, ideas about how to encourage and work
with parents also need to evolve. This practical resource by
bestselling author Patricia Edwards provides school leaders and
classroom teachers with new and creative ways in which to welcome,
encourage, and involve parents. Enacting these types of practices
requires a special kind of commitment from teachers and school
leaders, which often coincides with a particular kind of mindset
about families and one's responsibility to engage them. Educators
often develop this mindset as they deepen their understanding of
families, literacy/language, culture/race/ class, and themselves.
Edwards pulls these understandings together and presents them in a
straightforward, concise, and easy-to-use guide that is perfect for
professional learning communities and teacher preparation courses.
