Core text for courses in Parent/Home-School Relations in Early Childhood Education or a supplementary text appropriate for Schools and Society, Introduction to Education, and Student Teaching/Field Experience courses.
Ideal for adding structure to early field experience courses, this practical new text offers a well-organized, flexible program that will help pre-service teachers acquire the critical skills they need to establish effective, productive relationships with the families of their pupils and members of the community in which they teach. Straightforward, clearly written coverage includes a wide array of realistic case studies, field experiences, and issues for discussion that sensitively address the increasing diversity of family structures in American society.
