Recensione

"School, Family, and Community Partnerships is a one-stop survival guide for anyone engaged in starting or improving partnership programs. The detailed, practical information links research findings to effective practices in a most helpful way." (Jane Grinde, Director, Bright Beginnings/Family-School-Community Partnerships)

"The research base is evident, and the second edition of the handbook is designed to help educators actually get things done. Everything is included to launch an effective Action Team and to develop a program that links family involvement to school improvement and student achievement." (Arty Dorman, Director of Family & Community Involvement)

"The second edition of the Handbook for Action is full of advice, good examples, and information for leaders in elementary, middle, and high schools―all based on research. This is an important resource for anyone trying to improve partnerships that support student achievement."  (Wendy Harwin, School-Family-Community Partnerships Project Coordinator)

"Some texts, by their very structure, invite the reader to flip back and forth between chapters rather than read in published order. School, Family, and Community Partnerships is that type. [It] is a programmatic, hands-on resource providing realistic strategies." (Marc Space, Superintendent The School Administrator, January 2003)
