Engaging All Families: Creating a Positive School Culture by Putting Research Into Practice - Paperback
by Steven M. Constantino (Author)
Engaging All Families provides a summary of research that acts as a foundation upon which the practitioner's tools are crafted. Readers are given the resources necessary to assess their present level of family engagement and the ideas, strategies, suggestions, programs, practices, policies, and procedures to implement a wide variety of customized family engagement programs. Numerous resources and references are also included. As a successful school administrator and nationally known expert in the field of family and community engagement, Steven Constantino builds the bridge from research to practice and provides the information that allows all schools to become family friendly.
