This volume focuses on how family-school partnerships are conceptualized, defined, and operationalized as well as the research that is needed to advance these foundational issues. Each chapter integrates prevailing approaches into a research-based framework for supporting learning from pre-K through high school. The book incorporates structural and relational methods into the larger context of educational processes to promote research about collaboration and to improve the academic and behavioral development of students. Diverse theories and models of family-school alliances demonstrate...

This book, the second of three sequential, edited volumes in the Research on Family-School Partnerships series, focuses on processes and pathways. Each chapter highlights critical findings by seminal researchers, addressing such topics as inputs, mechanisms, diversity, and statistical techniques to model change. In addition, key areas of coverage examine unique parent, teacher, and school variables as antecedents or predictors of effective family-school partnerships; explore the importance of advancing and investigating models that specify potential mechanisms by which family-school...

This volume focuses on context considerations in family-school partnership research. The book examines how cultural diversity, including differences in parenting (e.g., race, education, family history) and diverse school variables (e.g., location, population, organization, ) can affect family-school partnerships. Its bio ecological perspective pinpoints critical areas that studies need to address for real-world utility, such as parental commitment and developmental considerations. Although the book s focus is research, chapters present program designs and evaluations along with ideas for...

This book presents research-based family-school intervention programs that target the specific developmental period of preschool through the early elementary years, focusing on promoting positive child transitions into school. It explores critical intervention issues, including the need to understand mechanisms of efficacy, issues with real-world implementation, and methods for scaling family-school interventions. The volume references developmental research to highlight the importance of family-school partnerships at this critical transition period. Several chapters brieflydescribe research...
