Editorial Reviews
Review
“Truly, this type of “big picture” presentation helps the typical undergraduate not only grasp any new material and concepts, but also to become meta-cognitive of what they already know and to begin to piece the parts together. The inclusion of practical information in working with parents is a strength and adds to the comprehensive nature of the text.”
Sharla Snider, Texas Woman’s University
From the Publisher
This comprehensive text presents a unique, practical blend of strategies for helping regular and special educators, community workers, and other professionals effectively involve parents in their children's education. It reaches well beyond other texts in the field to examine past and current research, special concerns and challenges of working with minority and culturally-diverse families, school- and home-based programs, the importance of good two-way communication, conducting parent conferences, involving parents of children with disabilities, dealing with child abuse and its aftermath, and such topics as advocacy and the rights/responsibilities balance.

Only Swick's Book Is Better.,

This review is from: Parents as Partners in Education: Families and Schools Working Together, Sixth Edition (Paperback)
This book has everything from parent involvement to parent teacher conferencing to the very best history of parent education/involvement that I have EVER seen.
If you can't find any book by Kevin Swick, then get this one. Heck! Get 'em both! You can never do with enough ways to get parents involved with children during the early years.

This review is from: Parents as Partners in Education: Families and Schools Working Together, Sixth Edition (Paperback)
This book is comprehensive and easy to follow. It is useful for understanding the various perspectives of both teachers and families. I think it is essential for new teachers, as well as those who may feel the need to prioritize and start putting families and communication first!
