Family-school collaboration has proven benefits for students' social, emotional, behavioral, and academic functioning, yet many schools struggle to create and sustain effective partnerships with families. This timely resource provides an equity-focused, culturally responsive framework for embedding family collaboration within multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS). The field-leading authors present best practices for involving families in data-based decision making and problem solving at Tiers 1, 2, and 3. Chapters from guest experts address key issues in implementation, including detailed case studies. In a convenient large-size format, the book provides implementation guides, practitioner vignettes, candid parent quotations, and reproducible checklists, forms, and sample scripts that can be downloaded and printed.
This book is in The Guilford Practical Intervention in the Schools Series, edited by Sandra M. Chafouleas.
