Title: Partnerships
Description: Partnerships was developed as a resource for students, faculty, and teachers to encourage the development of meaningful and respectful relationships with families. Over the past few years, a significant shift has taken place in the relationship between families and teachers in both early learning and school environments. Many family members have demanded a more active role in their children s care and education and have challenged the notion of teacher-as-expert. Compelling research supports the benefits to children, educators, teachers, and families when a strong alliance among all parties is formed, and it is from this perspective that the text has been written.
