"This thin, idea-packed textbook proposes a critical reimagining of family-school partnerships in U.S. classrooms... The authors move smoothly between theoretical concepts, vignettes, discussion questions, and practical advice with a facility that will appeal to teachers, pre-service teachers, and teacher educators alike. The theories they draw on include well-worn family engagement standards such as relational trust and funds of knowledge, alongside concepts less commonly found in family engagement texts, such as sociological imagination and radical kinship." --Teachers College Record

Starting from the premise that children learn better when their learning community respects their families and cultures, this thought-provoking resource shows what it means--and what it takes--to include today's diverse parents in their children's learning.

Moving readers away from out-of-date practices that can potentially marginalize and devalue the cultural assets of families, the authors provide practical, ready-to-use strategies to help schools re-envision the meaning of parental involvement and engagement. Based on the research and K-12 teaching experience of three educators, chapters address contemporary issues such as the absent parent, homework, vulnerable populations, limitations of current school-based family programs, and pedagogies of hope.

Book Features:

  • Provides guidelines and examples of homework that allow multicultural and multilanguage parents to engage with their children around learning.
  • Shows how teachers and school leaders can collaborate to effect more inclusive practices.
  • Reframes the conversation surrounding parental engagement to emphasize community and parental empowerment.
  • Addresses the importance of parental engagement amid today's political discourse surrounding immigration.
