The publication, written by Harvard Graduate School of Education?s Karen L. Mapp, senior lecturer and faculty director of the Education Policy and Management Master?s Program, and Paul J. Kuttner, researcher and educator, presents a framework that focuses on helping both educators and family members develop the necessary skills, knowledge, confidence, and belief systems to develop and sustain home?school relationships. | Website |
