This comprehensive text helps prepare pre-service and in-service teachers to build and sustain family, school, and community partnerships that are vital to student success. Focusing on ages 0-14, and with a particular emphasis on diverse families and learners, this book helps teachers to overcome barriers, create action plans, and sustain partnerships over time. Key Features: - The chapters provide a contemporary, culturally relevant approach, helping teachers to devise strategies that celebrate cultural, linguistic, and academic diversity. - Two case studies per chapter present multiple perspectives from teachers, students, and community members. Readers are asked to reflect upon the cases, analyze real-life situations, and apply chapter content to each case. - Notes from the Classroom include reflections, voices, and strategies from classroom teachers that enhance the chapter content. - 'How To' sections show how to develop an action plan or seek outside funding. Planning sheets are included to provide the sequence of specific steps. Connections to the National Board Certification are featured throughout the text, outlining expectations relating to Collaboration in the Professional Community and Outreach to Family and Community. These will assist pre-service and in-service teachers in developing portfolios.
