Family Matters
by Robert Evans
Students everywhere are harder to reach and teach, their attention and motivation less reliable, their language and behavior more provocative. This is largely because parents, suffering a widespread loss of confidence and competence, are increasingly anxious about their childrens success, yet increasingly unable to support and guide them—and increasingly assertive and adversarial vis a vis the school. Examining these trends and their underlying causes, Evans calls for a combination of limits and leverage. At the policy level, we must rethink our notions of accountability, accepting the reality that schools cannot overcome all the forces that affect childrens lives and learning. At the schoolhouse, educators can improve their impact by clarifying and asserting purpose (core values) and conduct (norms for behavior), and by becoming more appropriately parental vis à vis students and parents. Evans outlines concrete ways to implement these measures, and closes with a reflection on ways to sustain hope and commitment in the face of unprecedented challenge.

Families, Schools, and Communities
by Kent Chrisman
Families, Schools and Communities: Together for Young Children is the best resource available for understanding how to implement family involvement programs and to support families with young children, leading to strong schools and communities. Since evidence continues to grow that family involvement in schools supports children?s success, this is a valuable resource for pre-service and in-service teachers, administrators and programs. The text presents current research and best practices in a reader-friendly format that puts practical application within easy reach. It uses a number of techniques for imparting this information to the reader. A new on-line resource features topical issues discussed by parents and family members, adding emotion from real-life family events to the context. A new case study focusing on standardized testing in grades K-3 brings more meaning to this subject than is generally presented in other formats. And, a wealth of recommended Web sites relevant to specific chapters are listed in sidebars for easy reference.
