This volume focuses on how family-school partnerships are
conceptualized, defined, and operationalized as well as the
research that is needed to advance these foundational issues. Each
chapter integrates prevailing approaches into a research-based
framework for supporting learning from pre-K through high school.
The book incorporates structural and relational methods into the
larger context of educational processes to promote research about
collaboration and to improve the academic and behavioral
development of students. Diverse theories and models of
family-school alliances demonstrate approaches and interventions
that are goal-directed and strengths-based, respectful and
responsive. In addition, the book analyzes cognitive, behavioral,
and interpersonal aspects of partnership and discusses different
methods of assessing parental involvement and student outcomes.
Included in the coverage are innovative, agenda-setting discussions
on: Definitions and conceptual frameworks of family-school
partnerships. Need-satisfying partnerships. Diverse parent
perspectives and participation. Measurement of family-school
partnership constructs over time. Foundational Aspects of
Family-School Partnership Research is an essential resource for
researchers, professionals, and graduate students in child and
school psychology, educational policy and politics, family studies,
developmental psychology, sociology of education, sociology, and
anthropology.
This book explores research on processes that influence
family-school partnerships in support of student learning and
education. It highlights research related to culture, contexts, and
development as families and schools work together to promote smooth
transitions and academic achievement. The volume discusses research
related to family and community engagement with schools, and
describes the various mechanisms by which partnerships may support
students' long-term developmental outcomes and success beyond
school. Each chapter sets forth a forward-thinking research agenda
aimed at further understanding and implementing the processes by
which family-school partnerships promote children's healthy
adjustment. In addition to examining critical and emerging issues,
this unique book also provides robust strategies, data, and
rationales across the following areas: Cultural processes and the
connections among home, school, and community. Family-school
relationships during adolescence. Achievement mediators of family
engagement in children's education. Continuities and consistencies
across home and school systems. Uncovering processes and pathways
in family-school research. Strengthening networks and attachments
to promote child development. Processes and Pathways of
Family-School Partnerships Across Development is a must-have
resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate
students in child and school psychology, educational policy and
politics, family studies, developmental psychology, sociology of
education, and other interrelated disciplines.

This volume focuses on context considerations in family-school
partnership research. The book examines how cultural diversity,
including differences in parenting (e.g., race, education, family
history) and diverse school variables (e.g., location, population,
organization,) can affect family-school partnerships. Its bio
ecological perspective pinpoints critical areas that studies need
to address for real-world utility, such as parental commitment and
developmental considerations. Although the book's focus is
research, chapters present program designs and evaluations along
with ideas for community involvement and policy. The authors also
explore the changing landscape for home-school partnerships
resulting from the impact of technology, which is rapidly becoming
a central player in organizing research and bringing interventions
to life. Topics covered include: Complexities in field-based
partnership research. Family-centered, school-based interventions.
A district leadership approach to school, family and community
partnerships. Research issues to forward a policy agenda supporting
family-school partnerships. Testing statistical moderation in
research on home-school partnerships. Integrating current and
evolving knowledge toward future directions for research. Contexts
of Family-School Partnerships is a valuable resource for
researchers, professionals and graduate students in child and
school psychology, educational policy and politics, family studies,
developmental psychology, sociology of education, sociology and
anthropology.
