Ongoing, strategic Family-School Partnering (FSP) is an essential component of every educational community. FSP is a multi-dimensional process in which schools, families, and communities engage in shared actions to ensure a child’s academic, social, and emotional success. With this text, the authors intend to offer a practical guide that demonstrates how this partnering can be strategically implemented in all levels of schooling. The main focus of the text is how to plan, implement, and evaluate FSP within existing school structures and resources. The authors begin with an overview of the foundational and organizational information necessary for successful FSP, including a review of ecological systems theory. FSP theories and strategies are presented at a universal, targeted, and intensive level, giving the school mental health professional insight into working with students and families who have differing needs. A school-based case example illustrates FSP in action and provides a practical roadmap for implementation. Each chapter contains easily adaptable tools and a list of useful web links to resources which can be used in conjunction with the strategies presented and discussed by the authors. An accompanying CD will also contain all the handouts, forms, and other such resources presented throughout the text.

Advances in Family-School-Community Partnering

Family-School-Community Partnering (FSCP) is a multidimensional process in which schools, families, and communities work together to ensure the academic, social, and emotional success of students. In this new edition, the authors evaluate advances to a multitiered model of FSCP that further incorporates community alliances. Section I covers legislative, empirical, and theoretical underpinnings and updates. Practical strategies are discussed to develop, deliver, and evaluate a cohesive system of support to improve student outcomes. Chapter addendums detail the specific approaches and associated resources to advance FSCP from infancy through adulthood. In Section II, current researchers and practitioners consider how to enhance collaborative partnerships with military, migrant/refugee, and rural communities and support gender identity and varied developmental abilities. Four culminating case stories are designed to facilitate ideas for intentional integration of FSCP domains into readers' ongoing practices. School psychologists, counselors, educators, administrators, and social workers will learn how to strategically implement this partnering in all levels of schooling.

 Review 
"This book offers concrete ideas, rooted in research, for building a continuous improvement system of high-impact family-school-community partnerships. An abundance of specific considerations for reaching diverse families, such as those whose children have gender identity issues, special needs, a military service background, or are newcomers or refugees are provided along with tools with immediate practical application. I consider this book a must for everyone in the field of family-school-community partnerships." ― Anne T. Henderson, senior consultant, National Association for Family, School and Community Engagement 
"The importance of partnering among home, school, and community has long been touted in the research literature as a best practice for educating youth, however, there are few examples of effective collaborations in part because the skills to create them are not evident. In this book, Miller, Stanley, and Banerjee provide a roadmap for education professionals to follow in bringing together this triad of microsystems in which a child develops. Beginning with a theoretical framework informed by extant scholarship and drawing upon their own work and the work of other leading scholars in school psychology, these authors address collaboration generally and in regard to different demographic, geographical, and exceptionality contexts. Using a host of practical strategies and recommendations, they take the mystery out of creating strong partnerships, making this book a must-read for any educator or school-based mental health professional who wants to establish strong and effective collaborations." ―Frank C. Worrell, PhD, professor and director of School Psychology, Graduate School of Education, University of Berkeley, CA, president-elect, American Psychological Association \n"Gloria Miller and other talented researchers and school professionals explain and expand a multi-tiered framework to engage families in their children’s education. Universal connections engage all families, and targeted interactions respond to students’ special needs and talents. The chapters add new ideas and useful tools to improve school, family, and community partnerships with new technologies and in diverse communities. This is an important book for researchers and educators at all grade levels." ―Joyce Epstein, PhD, director, Center on School, Family, and Community Partnerships, National Network of Partnership Schools (NNPS), professor of Education\n"If anyone wants to read a stimulating, timely and actionable book, Advances in Family-School Community Partnering is a must-
