What does a healthy, successful school look like? Is it is all
about measurable outcomes, test scores, and pass/fail grades set by
the government? Can learning be quantified in short-term
measurements or does real learning take years to manifest in a
career or biography. All seem to agree that a healthy school is
also a community and that community depends on the quality of
relationships-chiefly the relationships among students, teachers,
and parents. This book features a comprehensive examination of the
parent-teacher relationship in all its dimensions, from parent
evenings and conferences to communication, conflict, and the
life-cycle of parent involvement in their school. In between the
chapters on practical advice are sections that consider the issues
from a deeper, spiritual dimension. This book is intended to
stimulate conversation, self reflection and relational practices
that awaken community life in and around our schools. "The world of
parent-teacher relations has grown more complex over the years and
at its worst can feel like a minefield. Torin demines and
demystifies the experience with information, insights, stories, and
warmth, creating a safe passage for teachers and parents." -Joan
Almon, Waldorf educator and cofounder of Alliance for Childhood
"Readers of my books will appreciate Torin's approach to
parent-teacher relations. He looks at the key issues through
various lenses and gives both practical and spiritual advice to all
who seek to build healthy relationships around our school-age
children. I highly recommend this new book " -Thomas Moore,
bestselling author of Care of the Soul "What Torin has so
sensitively crafted here will give you greater simplicity and
spaciousness in school community life. I highly recommend this book
to all parents and teachers, but especially to those connected to
Waldorf schools." -Kim John Payne, M.Ed., author of Simplicity
Parenting and Beyond Winning "This book is a call for parents and
teachers to work more effectively together on behalf of our
children. Torin uses a variety of approaches to stimulate
conversation and help us strengthen the communities around our
schools. I highly recommend this provocative book " -David Sobel,
author of Place-Based Education: Connecting Classrooms and
Communities
