Families, Schools, and Communities

For students who are preparing to work with young children

Families, Schools, and Communities: Building Partnerships for Educating Children examines the daily lives of children and the social-cultural framework into which education and development must fit - helping readers develop a firm understanding of the context of children's lives as well as the lives of their caregivers.

Filled with new and updated special features, enhanced coverage of hot topics in education, and a new chapter on fostering collaborative communication, the 7th Edition prepares pre-service teachers to develop strong ties with children's communities and families.
