Helps educators to identify, address, and meet the needs of the diverse families in classrooms. This book examines how families are represented in the media, schools, and other institutions as well as how different relationships between families and teachers are defined by discourses that circulate through formal and informal curricula.
This practical resource will help educators to identify, address, and meet the needs of the diverse families in today''s classrooms. It is the first book to critically examine how families are represented in the media, schools, and other institutions and apply that information to build effective home-school partnerships. The authors examine how different relationships between families and teachers are defined by discourses that circulate through formal and informal curricula. They explore how families and educators can collectively reconceptualize these conversations to create positive educational experiences for children. Discussion questions are included in each chapter so that readers can examine their working relationships with the families of their students.
