Summary:

"This book pairs child development theory with research-based teaching cases that reflect vital issues in family-school-community relations, especially among families for whom poverty and cultural differences are daily realities. This Second Edition encourages educators to hone their analytic and problem-solving skills for use in real-world situations with students and their families."--BOOK JACKET.
