Advances in Family-School-Community Partnering

A Practical Guide for School Mental Health Professionals and Educators

Beschreibung

Family-School-Community Partnering (FSCP) is a multidimensional process in which schools, families, and communities work together to ensure the academic, social, and emotional success of students. In this new edition, the authors evaluate advances to a multitiered model of FSCP that further incorporates community alliances.

Section I covers legislative, empirical, and theoretical underpinnings and updates. Practical strategies are discussed to develop, deliver, and evaluate a cohesive system of support to improve student outcomes. Chapter addendums detail the specific approaches and associated resources to advance FSCP from infancy through adulthood. In Section II, current researchers and practitioners consider how to enhance collaborative partnerships with military, migrant/refugee, and rural communities and support gender identity and varied developmental abilities. Four culminating case stories are designed to facilitate ideas for intentional integration of FSCP domains into readers' ongoing practices.

School psychologists, counselors, educators, administrators, and social workers will learn how to strategically implement this partnering in all levels of schooling.

Rezensionen

"This book offers concrete ideas, rooted in research, for building a continuous improvement system of high-impact family-school-community partnerships. An abundance of specific considerations for reaching diverse families, such as those whose children have gender identity issues, special needs, a military service background, or are newcomers or refugees are provided along with tools with immediate practical application. I consider this book a must for everyone in the field of family-school-community partnerships." - Anne T. Henderson, senior consultant, National Association for Family, School and Community Engagement

"The importance of partnering among home, school, and community has long been touted in the research

literature as a best practice for educating youth, however, there are few examples of effective collaborations in part because the skills to create them are not evident. In this book, Miller, Stanley, and Banerjee provide a roadmap for education professionals to follow in bringing together this triad of microsystems in which a child develops. Beginning with a theoretical framework informed by extant scholarship and drawing upon their own work and the work of other leading scholars in school psychology, these authors address collaboration generally and in regard to different demographic, geographical, and exceptionality contexts. Using a host of practical strategies and recommendations, they take the mystery out of creating strong partnerships, making this book a must-read for any educator or school-based mental health professional who wants to establish strong and effective collaborations." -Frank C. Worrell, PhD, professor and director of School Psychology, Graduate School of Education, University of Berkeley, CA, president-elect, American Psychological Association

"Gloria Miller and other talented researchers and school professionals explain and expand a multi-tiered framework to engage families in their children's education.

This is an important book for researchers and educators at all grade levels." -Joyce Epstein, PhD, director, Center on School, Family, and Community Partnerships, National Network of Partnership Schools (NNPS), professor of Education

Edwards, PhD, professor, Department of Teacher Education, Michigan State University

"In this important and timely book, the authors offer a clear and compelling case for thinking about and practicing family and community engagement as a multi-tiered system, one that involves various learning spaces, from birth through high school. The attention to issues of gender, cultural, developmental, and linguistic diversity makes the book particularly relevant to school systems today, and the culminating cases are sure to spark conversation among a range of audiences." - Margaret Caspe, PhD, consultant to the National Association for Family, School, and Community Engagement

With its undergirding in evidence-based practices, this text is a must for all mental health professionals and special educators." - Todd Sundeen, PhD, associate professor and program coordinator, College of Education and Behavioral Sciences, University of Northern Colorado
