This book explores family-school partnerships and how they can be
most effectively leveraged to ensure academic success for students
from socioculturally diverse backgrounds. It presents an innovative
framework for building collaborative learning partnerships with
culturally diverse families, for improved student achievement and
more meaningful ties between schools and their communities. It
promotes understanding of familial and communal knowledge and
recognizing families' resilience in addressing academic, social,
and linguistic barriers. Chapters reimagine family-school
partnerships within a context of shared power and authority,
examine a spectrum of interventions that support culture-based
modes of learning, and emphasize the potential for transformative
learning to occur when students' out-of-school lives are understood
and meaningfully leveraged in school. Chapters also discuss how to
foster bridges between parents and teachers, provide teachers with
access to the rich cognitive and cultural resources of families,
and enable all parties to begin viewing families as truly equal
partners in children's education. The book concludes with a
commentary chapter that identifies necessary areas for further
research. Topics featured in this volume include: The contribution
of racial and ethnic socialization to family-school partnerships
during early childhood. Fathers and their role in family-school
partnerships. The importance of Indigenous family engagement in
systems of education. Home-school partnerships and mixed-status
immigrant families in the United States. Family-school partnership
research with the migrant and seasonal farm working community. The
role of humility in working with families across international
contexts. Interventions that promote home-to-school links.
Ethnocultural Diversity and the Home-to-School Link is a must-have
resource for researchers, professionals, and graduate students in
education, child and school psychology, educational policy and
politics, family studies, developmental psychology, sociology of
education, and anthropology.
In this thoroughly revised fourth edition, with ten new chapters,
the editors provide thought-provoking discussions on the importance
of ethnicity in different cultural and social contexts. The authors
focus especially on changing ethnic and national identities, on
migration and ethnic minorities, on ethnic ascription versus
self-definitions, and on shifting ethnic identities and political
control. The international group of scholars examines ethnic
identities, conflicts and accommodations around the globe, in
Africa (including Zaire and South Africa), Belgium, Brazil,
Bulgaria, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Macedonia, the Netherlands, the
United States, Thailand, and the former Yugoslavia. It will serve
as an excellent text for courses in race & ethnic relations,
and anthropology and ethnic studies.
