Families, Schools, and Communities: Together for Young Children

Families, Schools and Communities: Together for Young Children employs a host of teaching tools to bring to life theory and research, and the practical application of both, for the purpose of developing strong families. It has been proven that such families help develop strong schools and communities. Related Web sites, case studies and a new On-line Resource featuring family members and parents discussing real-life issues are just a few of the techniques used to illustrate the wealth of information presented. The author has put an emphasis on presenting a reader-friendly text to enable students to clearly understand all content, including references to current research and best practices from nationally recognized associations and experts in the field. Students will be moved by interviews with families, particularly those parents who are undergoing divorce or incarceration, or living a migrant lifestyle.
