Involving Hard-To-Reach Parents : Creating Family/School Partnerships, Paperback by Lueder, Donald, ISBN 1610480481, ISBN-13 9781610480482, Brand New, Free P&P in the UK"This book is quite a tour de force. Donald C. Lucder addresses a critical issue in education---reaching and involving all parents, not just those who readily come to schools and are easily involved in their children's education. He has done an excellent job of diagnosing the range of barriers to parent involvement. Drawing on a wealth of information from the literature in the field and his own experiences. Lucder provides many very practical activities for involving hard-to-reach parents."---OLIVER C. MOLES, JR., PhD, member. Social Science Research Group, LLC
"In his most recent text on parent involvement with schools, Donald C. Lucder has produced an excellent guide. He provides good information, along with a number of varied activities, explaining how to engage parents as partners in the education of their children. Educators and parents will find this book helpful as they seek to forge partnerships between parents and schools."---CAROLYN S. BUCKENMAIER, EdD, adjunct professor, Nova Southeastern University: former executive director in Fairfax County Public Schools and Alexandria City Public Schools in Virginia"
Dr. Lueder's Self-Renewing Partnership Model will provide the understanding and the tools for administrators to establish the relationships necessary to bring those hard-to-reach `missing' families into a working and sustainable family/school partnership." ---ANITA BLAIN, EdD, principal, Wolftrap Elementary School, Vienna, VA
"Educators clearly understand the nexus between parental involvement and student academic achievement. However, two few of us have successfully found ways to meaningfully involve `hard-to-reach' families in our school improvement efforts. Thanks to Lueder's Self-Renewing Partnership Model, we finally have a strategy to help solve this seemingly unsolvable puzzle." ---TERRY GRIER, EdD, superintendent, Houston Independent School District, Houston, TX
"Because all parents are `hard-to-reach' some of the time, this book has important information for educators to involve all families in their children's education. Donald Lueder helps readers understand the challenges that educators face in organizing effective programs that engage all parents, including those who have traditionally been uninvolved, excluded, or ignored. He offers many useful ideas to help educators at all grade levels connect, communicate, and collaborate with all families and community groups. Lueder conveys the urgency for all schools to develop a well-planned partnership program that will increase students' success in school."---JOYCE L. EPSTEIN, PhD, director, Center on School, Family, and Community Partnerships, Johns Hopkins University
