Schools and Communities by John West-Burnham
This book is rooted in the principle that every child and young person has a fundamental entitlement to equal educational opportunities. Human relationships are fundamental to educational and social development and increasing importance is being attached to cooperation and collaboration between schools and the community, and between the agencies that provide services for children and young people.
Dominant themes throughout this well structured book include social justice and equity, social capital, community capacity building, and the moral purpose of education..Case study examples and chapters on partnership working and evaluation offer useful advice -- Colleen Cummings, Learning & Teaching Update, Dec 2007
With the extended school agenda and the need to crack the cycle of disadvantage, this book is timely, illuminating and persuasive. -- Professor Tim Brighouse
