A volume in Family School Community Partnership Issues
Series Editors: Diana B. Hiatt-Michael, Pepperdine University
Effective schools engage a wide range of families and community members to support their
award-winning programs. This monograph highlights exemplary examples of communities,
including foundations, community organizers, non-profit organizations, community
agencies, as well as school districts, that lead successful group, school, district and state level initiatives to improve
educational outcomes.
Practitioners and scholars join hands to share promising practices and research-based examples of community
initiatives that have had positive impacts on families, schools, and communities. This monograph is vital to educational
leadership preparation programs, education policymakers at the local, state, and national levels, school and district
level administrators, and a broad range of community leaders.
