Family-School-Community Partnering (FSCP) is a multi-dimensional 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 multi-tiered model of FSCP that further incorporates community alliances.
Section one 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 specific approaches and associated resources to advance FSCP from infancy through adulthood. In Section Two, 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 processes 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.
