This dynamic book provides powerful ideas to guide pedagogy and a
curriculum model for helping students connect with issues in their
lives while meeting standards. Vivid portraits of K-12 classrooms
illustrate how teachers used a human rights framework to engage
students in critical inquiry of relevant social issues, such as
immigration rights, religious tolerance, racial equality,
countering the effects of poverty, and respect for people with
disabilities. The book shows how a group of teachers worked
together to develop a critical content frameworkusing the UN
Convention on the Rights of the Child. Chapters highlight lively
classroom and community action projects.
This engaging and rich resource details how schools and diverse
families throughout the country have formed partnerships that
support and enhance student learning. It is designed for teachers
who care deeply about students and welcome diverse families as
partners, for parents who want to be active partners in educating
their children, and for administrators in diverse schools or
districts who know there is no quick fix for building lasting
partnerships among families, schools, and the community.
This honest, clearly written, and accessible book shows how to use
Family Dialogue Journals to increase and deepen learning among
students in grades K-12. Written by teachers who have been
implementing and studying the use of weekly journals for several
years, the book shares what they have learned and why they have
found these journals to be an invaluable tool for forming effective
partnerships with families. Learn from first-hand accounts how
students write weekly about one big idea they have studied, and
then invite a family member to participate in the discussion by
asking him/her to write a response to the student's question about
the topic in the journal. Through these journal entries, students
share their family knowledge with classmates while actively
engaging with the curriculum. In turn, teachers extend the academic
discussion by writing to each family and incorporating the family
contributions into classroom lessons. Family participation in
journal entries is remarkably high across ages, ethnicities, and
diverse economic backgrounds.
