Home-School Relations: Working Successfully with Parents and Families

The book arrived in a reasonable amount of time but I've received other books much quicker. The book was a little more worn than I expected but worked for what I needed.

before my hubby marvin became paraplegic we once thought about having children and like everyone else in the park we wanted to teach our children home-skooled ....with this book we found different ways in how to teach children just enough for them to get that full time job at wallmart .....every mothers dream

Although I am not finished with the book, I find the book so far informative and helpful with the class that I am taking. It is an easy-read, understandable and has information that you might already know mixed in with information and research not well-known.

Home-School Relations is an excellent user friendly textbook, both student friendly and instructor friendly. The text is easy to read and includes extensive current information regarding the various issues surrounding home-school partnerships. Each chapter includes several reflection exercises that are applicable for large groups, small groups, and/or individuals. At the end of each chapter, multiple resources can be found for the instructor and/or students. These include "Recommended Activities" (to extend learning), books, articles, videos, organizations, and websites. I highly recommend this textbook for undergraduate and graduate courses.
