Our Review

This practical guide offers educators concrete strategies for transforming one-way school communication into genuine parent-teacher partnerships. Author Jane Baskwill moves beyond theoretical discussions to provide actionable tools including take-home materials, conference techniques, and digital platforms that foster meaningful dialogue between home and school environments. The book addresses the common struggle teachers face in establishing collaborative relationships while emphasizing how improved communication directly enhances student learning outcomes.

Classroom teachers seeking to strengthen family engagement will find immediately applicable methods for creating two-way conversations that benefit children's educational development. The focus on practical implementation makes this an essential toolkit for educators committed to building sustainable home-school connections that actively support student success.
