This recognition has led to an increase in policies and initiatives that offer the following benefits: improved communication between parents and educators; home and school goals that are mutually supportive and shared; better understanding of the complexities impinging on children’s development; and pooling of family and school resources to find and implement solutions to shared goals. This is the first comprehensive review of what is known about the effects of home-school partnerships on student and school achievement. It provides a brief history of home-school partnerships, presents evidence-based practices for working with families across developmental stages, and provides an agenda for future research and policy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey features include:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eprovides comprehensive, cross-disciplinary coverage of theoretical issues and research concerning family-school partnerships.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003edescribes those aspects of school-family partnerships that have been adequately researched and promotes their implementation as evidence-based interventions. \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003echarts cutting-edge research agendas \u0026amp; methods for exploring school-family partnerships.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003echarts the implications such research has for training, policy and practice especially regarding educational disparities.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is appropriate for researchers, instructors, and graduate students in the following areas: school counseling, school psychology, educational psychology, school leadership, special education, and school social work.
