This edited collection broadens understanding of
family-school-community partnerships by focusing on how community
groups, educators, and university professors engage with public
education to achieve their own goals rather than goals defined by
schools, school systems, and governments. Authors critically
examine various school-community partnerships that collectively aim
to improve decision-making, democratize policy processes, resist
policies that support the marketization of public education, and
advocate for racial equality. The book's chapters focus on advocacy
efforts within and across three national contexts-England, Canada,
and the United States. Together they expand current scholarship by
demonstrating how different constituencies develop alliances,
experience tensions, and navigate the politics inherent in change
efforts. By examining the intersections of parent and community
organizing, teacher unions, and school-community partnerships
across national contexts, the chapters uncover fruitful new terrain
for understanding the theory and practice of educational activism.
This volume was originally published as a special issue of
Leadership and Policy in Schools.
