Free Downloads Home And School Relations: Teachers And Parents Working Together (4th Edition)
For in-service and practicing teachers and for parents as well, Home-School Relations examines the nature of the contemporary family and its relationship to the school, and provides practical advice for developing strong home-school relationships and solid examples of building good home-school partnerships and fostering parent involvement. This textbook discusses the need for educators to have positive working relationships with the students they teach and describes the techniques they must use to understand the families from which their students come. In addition to covering the traditional topics of ethnic families, change in families, and parent-teacher communication, this practical and popular text delves further into the issues facing families today and their effect on families including: income level, advocacy, the father’s role, family and domestic violence, bullying and school violence, parents’ perspectives on schools, opening new paths of understanding for educators. The text features a multitude of practical information such as descriptions of the successful parent-involvement programs, contains an excellent chapter on communication skills and activities, helps educators understand the legal and policy aspects of home-school relations and educational choices, and incorporates working with students with special needs in the classroom. Diversity (cultural, racial, religious, and sexual orientation) is integrated and discussed throughout the textbook to promote understanding of all students and their families, including those with special needs. Unlike other books in this field, Home-School Relations confronts the alarming statistics on poverty and how it affects children, and ultimately, their performance in schools.

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.
The only reason why I gave it a like is for the fact that it is a text book, it arrived in perfect condition and was posted online with great accuracy and it looked like I got it form the book store my self. I do like the fact that I can get my school books off line and have them in such great order, but like anyone who hates to read I only like it not love it. I do recommend that anyone taking an early childhood class and needs this book should get it here.
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.
This book will be used as a supplemental source for a Research Class, as well as, a text for continued resouceful materials library. Up to date issues are thoroughly discussed.
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.
I would highly recommend this product. It sure beats what I would have paid for it used at the University bookstore!
my professor required us to get this book. we never use this book. Actually i used it once for the refference.
I got the correct book. It did take about 2 weeks, but other than that everything was great.
