For courses in Parent/Home-School Relations in Early Childhood Education.

 

This text, whose perspective is based largely on the ecological theory of child development,  provides the information and strategies that enable pre-service teachers to develop vibrant partnerships--uniting parents and community members with the school to educate and support young children.  Schools are where the action will bloom, but respectful collaboration is the key to success. This text includes the community influence in most chapters, unlike other similar texts. A basic tenet of Families, Schools, & Communities: Building Partnerships for Educating Children is that schools will always be a primary venue for educating the young child, and educators must be in the forefront of any endeavor to bring about change.

About the Author:

Chandler Barbour, a retired professor of education, has spent over 40 years in elementary school

teaching, school administration, and university teaching. His strong interests in educational

partnerships for teachers in training and appropriate curriculum for children have led to research and

writing on school collaborations and networks. He is a co-author of two earlier publications:Partnerships

in Education (1970), AACTE and The Teaching Clinic (1974), Ass'n of Teacher Educators,

plus articles and reports for professional journals in Education. In retirement, Mr. Barbour lives in

coastal Maine and devotes volunteer time to public school projects, church programs, and prison

inmate counseling. He also serves as a board director for a fishing advocacy group, a church facilities

board, and one regional hospital board.

 

 

Nita H. Barbour is a retired University of Maryland professor with over 30 years in teaching,

researching and curriculum program development for educational facilities in three states. Her

professional work covers involvement with programs for populations ranging from preschool to

university graduate courses. Nita's Fulbright Scholarship in language study in the 1950s led to a career

long interest in the uses of language and the impact of language and culture on education. This interest

has followed her into retirement as a feature of the language literacy programs she has established for

preschoolers in her Maine community. Professor Barbour is a co-author of two earlier textbooks in the

early childhood field: Early Childhood Education: An Introduction, 4e, 1998, Merrill/Prentice Hall and

Developmental Continuity Across Preschool & Primary Grades, 2e, 2004, Ass'n of Childhood

Education International.
