Engaging 'Hard to Reach' Parents by Anthony Feiler
Teachers want to involve parents in education, but often comment that the parents they most want to see tend to have least contact with the school. Nevertheless, there is consistent research evidence that parents - including those who schools may find difficult to engage - are acutely interested in their children's learning.
"Nevertheless, the book presents a readable and scholarly account of important issues regarding the involvement of "hard to reach" parentsIn my opinion it will be more appreciated by researchers and academics wanting to study parental involvement in education than it will by teachers wanting to improve what their schools do to optimize this." (Educational Review, 31 August 2011)
