The Impact of School Choice and Community: In the Interest of Families and Schools (Suny Seri (Suny Series, Youth Social Services, Schooling, and Public Po)
By Claire Smrekar.
Description
This book examines ways in which school structures can change to increase parental involvement. This book offers a response to the policy failures associated with parent involvement in schools by arguing against traditional, piecemeal approaches to enhancing parent involvement in schools, and amplifying the importance of parents' social networks in the discussion of family-school partnerships. The interaction between social structure and school organization provides compelling indications of the need to recast the concept of parent involvement to one of community building. - from Amzon
