Teachers need to read books by other teachers, yet there are few available on the important subject of parent-teacher relationships. Lynne Yermanock Strieb fills the gap with this engaging account of her 30-year career teaching children in urban classrooms. Drawing on an extensive archive of documents she kept as a first- and second-grade public school teacher in Philadelphia, Strieb captures the complexity and nuance of working with the families of her students. Readers experience how her teaching developed over time and gain access to the useful materials she created throughout her career, including a successful newsletter for parents. Her story also provides a unique example of practitioner research, showing how teachers can use a variety of data collected in the classroom to both enhance their own practice and to inform that of others.

5.0 out of 5 stars
parents and teachers as partners,
This review is from: Inviting Families into the Classroom: Learning from a Life in Teaching (The Practitioner Inquiry) (Paperback)
This book deals with a very important and often overlooked aspect of a child's education, the connection between classrooms and families. Lynne Strieb makes clear the richness that comes from allowing parents into the classroom. Using the notes she took over a lifetime of teaching, Ms. Strieb details for her readers the importance of making families feel welcome, the different ways parents can help in the classroom, and the problems that may sometimes arise. I found this book to be extremely thought-provoking and hard to put down.

engaging reading even for non-teachers,
This review is from: Inviting Families into the Classroom: Learning from a Life in Teaching (The Practitioner Inquiry Series) (Hardcover)
I found this to be a thoroughly engaging read; not at all dry or academic. Lynne Strieb's style is clear and to the point, and her passion for her subject is inspirational.Dorothea Grossman
