Critical Acclaim
‘Families play a pivotal role in optimizing learning. This Handbook makes explicit this under-stated factor in the learning equation. Activating the power of families has the potential to transform the educational experience of every learner … and the effectiveness of every teacher. This book is the first of its kind, providing insights, frameworks, tools and intentional strategies from leaders of the field world-wide to catalyze the impact of families in the education ecosystem. It is timely and profound.’
