Creating Family–School Partnerships
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-032-40412-7 (ISBN)
Introducing a new model of family–school partnership, entitled ‘Pathways to Partnership’, Sandra presents a template to teachers and school leaders for developing authentic, genuine family–school partnerships that reflect contemporary global thinking and practice. She offers a new perspective on the family–school partnership, and provides support and guidance to school leaders to move away from outdated but ingrained approaches to more effective family–school partnerships.
Globally, schools are becoming less an education centre and more of a hub that integrates health and social services. With this change, the way schools regard family involvement has also shifted, with family involvement being viewed as a strategically critical role. This shift has been influenced not just by the recent pandemic, but also by the global trend towards decentralisation and democratisation of the decision-making power in schools, in which parent empowerment is implicit. However, many schools have not followed a modern engagement model in the way they approach partnership with the family, and still espouse approaches that are school centric and outdated in their orientation. Pathways to Partnership helps move leaders from ‘talking to’, towards ‘learning with’ parents.
Using case studies and the voices of parents and teachers to bring the content to life, Sandra provides strategies for school leaders and teachers to use to establish contemporary partnerships with families, ones that reflect current thinking that leads schools into authentic collaboration with their most important partners.
Sandra Webster has a PhD from Swinburne University of Technology. She is an educational leader with many years of experience in a variety of settings and schools.
