School, Family, and Community Partnerships: Your Handbook for Action Fourth Edition

The book is more than I expected!

I needed this book for a graduate class I am taking. Arrived on just in time for me to complete the homework assignment.

We used this text for one of my admin classes. It was full of great information and ideas to implement partnerships with stakeholders in your schools!

Easy read

I enjoyed having examples and ideas of how to implement strategies from the text! Great resource!

First, I disliked this book but in part, it may be due to the default bias presented by the authors who seem to assume this will be used in a poverty stricken neighborhood. The suggestions seem more like bribery in many instances and simply do not represent the needs of urban and rural families - especially those without poverty problems but rather time constraints. Assuming your school fits this niche then the book may apply...also assuming you have additional discretionary funds to implement many of the suggestions. Overall not impressed.

The are great templates and worksheet ideas for surveying and organizing school and community. Many reproducible sheets to get you started on your school leadership path.

It was easy to read and extremely informative.
